Peaches are my favourite fruit (not counting lemons). This cobbler is based on a Nigel Slater recipe, taken from his Kitchen diaries (http://www.nigelslater.com/). He uses peaches and blueberries (a gorgeous combination with bubbling, dark blue-ish juices). For last night's pudding, I used a couple of ripe peaches with greengages and blackberries bought by Marc. The tart berries set off the sweet, delicate peaches and greengages and the rich scone-like topping. I like to eat it with single cream.
The cobbler dough is made by combining plain flour, baking powder, sugar and butter in a crumble-like 'breadcrumb' mixture. You then add sour cream to make a soft dough and split this into walnut-sized pieces, flattening them before placing on top of the sliced fruit (tossed in lemon juice with a little flour and sugar). Dust with sugar and bake for half an hour at 200C.
