This is a baked fruit pudding with a dough topping. It is a perfect summertime dessert.
Ingredients
500g peaches
Juice 1 lemon
4tbsp caster sugar
1tbsp plain flour
For the cobbler topping
150g plain flour
Pinch salt
2tsp baking powder
1 gently heaped tbsp caster sugar plus extra for sprinkling
80g butter - cold
142ml soured cream
What to do:
Heat oven to 180C oven/160C fan/gas 4.
For the cobbler topping, chop the butter into cubes and rub it into the flour and baking powder with your fingertips until it looks like breadcrumbs then add in the sugar. It is much easier if the butter is cold when you do this. Put to one side.
Cut the peaches in half and remove the stone. Place the fruit into the ovenproof dish. Pour over the lemon juice and then the sugar and flour and mix. It will look a bit messy.
Mix the soured cream into the cobbler topping mixture. This will make a soft dough. Break off walnut/golf ball-sized pieces and flatten them lightly. Lay them on top of the fruit. Dust with sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25minutes, until the cobbler is golden and the fruit is bubbling. Serve with custard or cream.
Enjoy 😊
