      Title: NICK'S PEACH COBBLER
 Categories: Desserts, Fruits/nuts
      Yield: 10 Servings
 
MMMMM------------------BUTTERMILK BISCUIT CRUST-----------------------
      3 c  Self-rising cake flour
    3/4 c  Unsalted butter
  1 1/4 c  Buttermilk
MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
  3 1/2 lb Peaches; peeled and sliced
    3/4 c  Sugar
      2 ts Finely grated lemon zest
    1/2 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
      3 tb Unsalted butter
MMMMM-----------------------FOR FINISHING----------------------------
           Buttermilk
           Sugar
 
  FOR THE DOUGH, PLACE FLOUR in a bowl and rub in butter until fine 
and
  mealy. Do not allow to become pasty. Stir in 1 cup of the 
buttermilk,
  adding the remainder if necessary. Press dough together on a floured
  surface, wrap in plastic wrap and allow to rest while preparing
  filling. Preheat the oven to 450F and set a rack in the middle 
level.
  Place the peaches in a bowl and add the remaining filling
  ingredients, except the butter. Toss well to combine and pour 
filling
  into a 2-quart gratin dish or other baking dish. Distribute pieces 
of
  the butter evenly on the filling. On a floured surface, with the
  palms of the hands, press out the dough to the size of the baking
  dish and slide a thin cookie sheet under it. Slide the dough onto 
the
  filling. Cut 3 or 4 vent holes in the crust with the point of a
  knife. Paint the top crust evenly with the buttermilk and sprinkle
  with sugar. Bake the cobbler about 20 minutes, until crust is
  well-colored and filling is bubbling. Cool slightly on a rack and
  serve warm or at room temperature.
 
MMMMM
