This is a Peach Cobbler Recipe that brings
memories of summer! A perfect sweet to cozy up to after a day on the

almond extract heightens the flavors of either.

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
2. Arrange the peaches in the baking dish.
Sprinkle with the 2/3 cup sugar, the lemon zest and juice, and the almond
extract.
3. Bake for 20 minutes.
4. While the peaches are baking, sift the
flour, 1 tablespoon of the remaining sugar, the baking powder, and salt
together into a bowl. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles
cornmeal. Combine the beaten egg and milk and mix into the dry ingredients
until just combined.
5. Remove the peaches from the oven and quickly drop
the dough by large spoonfuls over the surface. Sprinkle with the remaining
2 tablespoons sugar. Return to the oven until the top is firm and golden
brown. 15 to 20 minutes.
6. White the cream to soft peaks. Flavor with the
peach brandy to taste.
7. Serve the cobbler warm, accompanied by the
whipped cream. Serves 4 to 6 portions.
