We went ot a BBQ at our neighbor’s house this afternoon. A fun time with lots of food and drink. I got to bring dessert!
For the 4th, I wanted something slightly traditional, but with a bit of a twist. Enter Tim’s Peach Cobbler!
I marinated the peaches overnight in Cointreau… Into the dish they went with a bit of sugar, cinnamon, corn starch, and allspice.
For the topping I took a scone recipe and twisted the concept a bit. I flattened it out, brushed with melted butter and then sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. I rolled it up cinnamon-roll-style, cut, and put on top. Into the oven for about 20 minutes and dessert was served!
It was yummy!
Here’s the scone recipe I used for the topping:
2 cups all purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter 1 cup whipping creamPreheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Gradually add 1 cup cream, mixing until dough comes together. Pat to 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
Spread with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll, slice, and place on fruit.
Bake at 400° about 20 minutes or until fully cooked.
Simplicity-and sooooooo good!
