Perfected Peach Cobbler

From onehungrymama.com
I would use less sugar overall if I made this again.  It was still super tasty though!


6 c peach slices, 1-1 1/2″ wedges (about 8 peaches, peeled** & pitted)
1/4 c packed brown sugar, plus another 1/8 c
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
1/2 c white sugar
8 Tbsp (1 stick) cold butter, cut into bits, plus more for greasing pan
1 egg
1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 375. Toss peaches with 1/4 c brown sugar, cinnamon & cornstarch. Spread in a lightly buttered 9″ inch pan.
2. Pulse remaining 1/8 c brown sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and white sugar in a food processor once or twice. Add butter and process until dough comes together. Put dough in a bowl and mix in the egg and vanilla in by hand.
3. Drop spoonfuls of dough across the fruit. Do not spread it around. Bake until all the dough turns golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Note: The easiest way to peel peaches without waste to is submerge them whole in boiling water for a minute or two. Plunge them in cold water immediately after taking them out of the boiling water. Leave for 30 seconds or so, after which the skin should just peel right off.
