Outstanding

A sprinkling of coarse turbinado sugar gives this deep-dish dessert a crunchy golden top.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup cobbler and 1 biscuit)

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4  cups  all-purpose flour, divided
  • 8  cups  chopped peeled peaches (about 4 pounds)
  • 1/4  cup  honey
  • 3  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 3  cups  blackberries
  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1  tablespoon  grated lemon rind
  • 1  teaspoon  baking powder
  • 6  tablespoons  chilled butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 1/4  cups  low-fat buttermilk
  • 2  tablespoons  turbinado sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

Combine 1/4 cup flour, peaches, honey, juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; toss gently. Let stand 15 minutes. Fold in blackberries. Spoon mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Combine 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, granulated sugar, rind, and baking powder in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, and stir just until moist.

Drop dough onto peach mixture to form 12 mounds. Sprinkle mounds with turbinado sugar. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until bubbly and golden.

Delicious! brought it to a party and it was a huge hit. Its not overly sweet, so adding a little bit of vanilla ice cream on top (thought not cooking-light-esque) was a nice treat. I would make it again.07/02/08
