Georgia peach cobbler

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Lightly butter a 2.5 litre ovenproof dish. In a bowl, toss together the peach slices, brown sugar, cornflour and lemon zest, then scatter over the base of the prepared dish. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, egg and vanilla. In another bowl, sift together the flour, caster sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter over the flour mixture. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it forms coarse pea-size crumbs. Add the cream and egg mixture and stir until the dough just comes together.
3. Remove the dish of peaches from the oven. Divide the dough into 12-14 pieces and roll into rough balls. Dot them evenly all over the surface of the dish. Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes until the top is golden and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges. Sprinkle with extra golden caster sugar and serve. It’s great with cream or vanilla ice cream.
