Peach Cobbler

As promised, another way to use those delightful summer peaches.
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Start with 8 to 10 peaches, peel and slice them.

Hopefully you can compost all those skins (or if you are lucky like we are, you can feed them to the chickens).
Add the zest and juice from one lemon.
In another bowl mix together: 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of allspice or cardamon(optional).

Toss the flour/sugar/spice mixture into the bowl of peaches and mix to coat the fruit. Pour the peaches into a 9 by 13 inch glass baking dish.

For the topping I used my scone recipe: http://laurieslittlekitchen.blogspot.com/2011/02/scones.html 
If you want the cobbler a little sweeter add 1/3 cup sugar instead of the 3 tablespoons it calls for.

Now you are going to roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Here comes the fun part, get out a couple of your favorite cookie cutters.

Make enough "dough cookies" to cover your fruit.

You can sprinkle them with a sugar and cinnamon mixture before baking. I meant to but got distracted and forgot.
Bake at 375 F for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream or plain yogurt. It's great for breakfast too !!
This same recipe works for other fruit as well, plums, berries, apricots.
