Peach cobbler

Ingredients

1. 6 large peaches, cut into thin wedges
2. 1/4 cup sugar
3. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4. 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For biscuit topping

1. 1 cup all-purpose flour
2. 1/2 cup sugar
3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
5. 3/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6. 1/4 cup boiling water

Cook peaches:

Step 1 Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 2 Toss peaches with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a 2-qt. nonreactive baking dish and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes.

Make topping while peaches bake:

Step 3 Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.

Step 4 Remove peaches from oven and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Bake in middle of oven until topping is golden, about 25 minutes. (Topping will spread as it bakes.)
