A delightful twist on the classic peach cobbler, featuring a buttery topping and spiced peach filling.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel and slice the peaches, then place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to make peeling easier.
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch to the peaches. Mix well to coat evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the peach slices.
Transfer the peach mixture to a baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
This step helps the peaches release their juices.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother texture.
Cut in the butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Chilled butter works best for this step.
Stir in the boiling water until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the topping light.
Remove the peaches from the oven and drop spoonfuls of the topping over them.
Distribute the topping evenly for consistent baking.
Bake the cobbler for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic touch.
