Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:
6 large peaches, peeled and sliced thickly
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
(biscuits)
1 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 ounces cold butter, cut into small cubes
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
For 6 servings of cobbler, begin by heating the oven to 350º and buttering a 3 quart flat baking dish. In a bowl, combine filling ingredients.
Stir to combine thoroughly and spread evenly in the baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the biscuit dough.
Using a pastry cutter or two knives, work the butter into the dry ingredients, until the butter is incorporated – it will resemble cornmeal in texture. Add the vanilla to the buttermilk and quickly fold into the dry ingredients, taking care not to stir too much. Distribute the dough over the peaches. I find it easiest to use a small disher or cookie scoop, but a tablespoon also works just fine. Sprinkle the top with about a tablespoon of granulated sugar.
Return to oven and bake another 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is nicely browned and the peach filling is very bubbly around the edges.
Cool for about 30 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
