How to Make Peach Cobbler

• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

• 6 c. fresh sliced peaches
• 1 1/4 tsp. lemon juice

Topping:

• 1 1/3 c. flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder

• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 c. shortening
• 2/3 c. milk

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the skins and pit from the peaches and cut into slices.
  
  
• In a saucepan large enough to hold all the peaches, combine the 3/4 c. of sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Add the peaches and lemon juice and then stir the entire mixture until the peaches are evenly coated.

• Cook the peaches over medium heat, stirring continually. Cook until the mixture boils and then continue to boil for 1 minute.

• Pour the peaches into a 9" square or 8" x 10" rectangle baking dish. Keep the peaches hot by placing in the oven until the topping is ready.

• Mix the topping by combining the flour, 1 1/2 tbsp. sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and stir thoroughly with a fork. Cut the shortening until the mixture is in fine crumbs.
  
  
• Pour in the milk and stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.

• Add the topping to the hot peaches by dropping spoonfuls evenly over them. There should be enough topping for 8 to 10 large spoonfuls.
  
  
• Place the cobbler back in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
  

• When the cobbler is done, serve it warm. It can be eaten on its own or served with ice cream.
