A sugary, lemony and buttery peach cobbler that melts in your mouth. This one is a family celebration bake.
Ingredients
- 5 peaches, washed and cut into slices or pieces (no need to peel)
- ½ cup sugar
- Juice of 2 limes or 1 lemon
- 1 heaped tablespoon cornflour
- For the topping: 1 cup flour, ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 115 g cold salted butter and 2–4 tablespoons boiling water
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C.
- Place the peaches in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle over the sugar, cornflour and lime or lemon juice.
- Bake the fruit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the flour, sugar and baking powder. Rub in the cold butter until crumbly.
- Add just enough boiling water for the crumbs to hold together.
- Scatter the topping over the peaches and bake using the upper grill until the topping is golden and biscuit-like. Watch closely so it does not overbake.
- Serve warm.
