    COBBLER:                                                       

•     1 cup flour                                                    
•     1/4 cup sugar                                                  
•     1/4 cup brown sugar                                            
•     1 teaspoon baking powder                                       
•     1/2 teaspoon salt                                              
•     8 tablespoons unsalted butter chill, pieced                    
•     1/4 cup boiling water 

                                         
    TOPPING:                                                       

•     1 teaspoon butter melt                                         
•     3 tablespoons sugar                                            
•     1 teaspoon cinnamon                                            

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine the white sugar,  brown sugar,  cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.  Once incorporated, add the peaches.   Toss to coat, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.  In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender, until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Stir in water and combine (don’t over work the mix).  Remove peaches from oven and drop spoonfuls of the batter mixture on top of the peaches.  Sprinkle the butter/sugar/cinnamon mixture over the cobbler and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.

MY NOTE: Simple and delicious. Very classic. I think 5 large peaches is a good ratio. My own photo.
