Recipe - Sc Peach Cobbler

PEACH FILLING:
7 cup Pitted peaches, peeled, cut
in sixths
Three fourths cup Sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoon Butter
BISCUIT TOPPING:
1 cup Flour
2 tablespoon Sugar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Baking powder
4 tablespoon Chilled butter
6 tablespoon Milk
Preheat oven to 425F.

Place the prepared peaches in an 8inch square baking pan and sprinkle
evenly with the sugar. Drizzle on the lemon juice and dot with the butter.
Set aside.

TOPPING:
Combine the flour, sugar salt and baking powder in a large bowl and stir
together with a fork. Cut the butter into bits and drop it into the bowl,
then cut it into the flour mixture until dough resembles fine, even crumbs.
Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork. Gather the dough together and
place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead 8 to 10 times, until it is
fairly smooth. Roll or pat the dough into a shape that will fit the baking
dish it should be no more than One half inch thick , so trim edges if
necessary.

Place the dough over the fruit in the pan, pressing it down into the
fruit all around the edges. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the juices
are bobbling, the biscuit crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender
when pierced through the crust with a knife. Remove from the oven and place
on a wire rack. Serve warm with heavy cream.

Serves 6.
