Instructions Checklist
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan and whisk to mix. Stir in sliced peaches (see Editor’s Note) and lemon juice, tossing until peaches are evenly coated.
Step 3: Cook filling over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil 1 minute. Pour mixture into an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish. Keep mixture hot in oven while you make the topping.
Step 4: In a medium bowl combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly, then cut in shortening until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir until mixture is evenly moistened.
Step 5: Remove peach filling from oven and drop dough onto peaches in 6 equal-size spoonfuls.
Step 6: Return cobbler to oven and bake until topping is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve warm with whipped cream, whipped topping, or vanilla ice cream!
