Ingredients
Filling
2 1/2 poundsripe, but firm peaches6-7 medium
1/4cupsugar
1teaspooncornstarch
1tablespoonjuice from one lemon
pinchsalt
Biscuit Topping
1cupall-purpose flour
3 tablespoonsplus 1 teaspoon sugar
3/4teaspoonbaking powder
1/4teaspoonbaking soda
1/4teaspoonsalt
5tablespoonscold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/3 cupwhole-milk yogurt(I used Noosa Vanilla Bean yogurt)
Instructions
Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Filling
Peel the peaches, cut each half into 4 wedges. Gently toss the peaches and sugar together in a large bowl and let stand for 30 minutes, tossing several times.
Drain the peaches in a colander set over a large bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup of the drained juice(discard the remaining juice),the cornstarch, lemon juice and salt together in a small bowl.
Toss the peach juice mixture with the peach slices and transfer to an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
Bake until the peaches begin to bubble around the edges, about 10 minutes.
Biscuit Topping
While the peaches are baking, in a food processor pulse the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine.
Scatter the butter over the dry ingredients and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about ten 1-second pulses.
Transfer to a medium bowl; add the yogurt and toss with a rubber spatula until a dough is formed. Don't overmix the dough, or the biscuits will be tough. Break the dough into 6 evenly sized, but roughly shaped mounds and set aside.
To Assemble and Bake the Cobbler
After the peaches have baked for 10 minutes, remove them from the over and place the dough mounds on the top, spacing them at least 1/2 inch apart, they should not touch.
Sprinkle each mound with a portion of the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar. (Could also sprinkle top with sanding sugar, if you prefer)
Bake until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling, 16-18 minutes.
Cool the cobbler on a wire rack until warm, about 20 minutes. Delicious served with vanilla bean ice cream! Enjoy.
