Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups peaches peeled and sliced
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 pc. egg

Notes

  • The peaches — The peaches are important here. We tried this recipe with canned peaches and fresh peaches, and the latter had the best result! We also note that using extra ripe peaches would result in a soggy peach cobbler, so I’d strongly recommend staying away from those. Brown and dark brown peaches are the sweetest, softest ones, and the best to use for this recipe.
 
  • The acidity — Some variations of the Southern peach cobbler recipe call for buttermilk, vinegar, or lemon juice. That’s simply because they provide some moisture along with acidity, which could be a good thing. In the case of buttermilk, there will also be a creamy texture as well.
