Ingredients

Topping

  • 2 cups all purpose flour 280 g
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter bubbly and active (113 g)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil 72 g
  • 1/4 cup honey 85g
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 6g
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder 5 g
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 g
  • 1/3 cup cream 60 g
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar 55 g

Peach filling

  • 10 peaches peeled and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Start by soaking the cobbler dough the night before: in a large mixing bowl, combine flour, then add sourdough starter, melted coconut oil, and cup honey, and mix well.
  • Let sit covered at room temperature for 8-24 hours. You want to cover it to prevent a not so pleasant crust from forming.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • To the fermented dough, add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and cream to the sourdough mixture and combine well.
  • Peel and chop the juicy peaches and add to a large cast iron skillet.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon over top of the fruit, and add butter, flour, and brown sugar (honey or maple syrup will also work).
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the butter is melted, while you work on the biscuits. If you are using a baking dish, pour the peach filling into a greased baking dish and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Turn biscuit dough out on a lightly-floured surface and roll it out or pat it out to about a half-inch thickness.
  • Cut out a dozen (or so) biscuits using a biscuit cutter or wide mouth mason jar.
  • Pull the peaches out of the oven and give them a good stir to incorporate the butter and melted sugar.
  • Place biscuits on top of the peaches.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits start to turn golden brown in color.
  • Allow to rest for a while before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

  • If you are sensitive to gluten, but can tolerate sourdough, try fermenting the dough for 24 hours.
  • To cut the biscuits, you can use a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or my favorite way... the wide mouth mason jar.
  • If you are crunched for time, and want to make a last minute dessert, you do not have to allow the biscuits to ferment overnight.
  • Don't have a cast iron skillet, no worries. You can cook the peaches in a skillet and transfer them into a 9x13 baking dish. Top with biscuits and bake the same.
