Desserts – Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler
The traditional cobbler is a fruit dish topped with a crisp biscuit. You can reduce calories and fat by minimizing the amount of topping.

♥ Use seasonal ripe fruits to avoid adding a lot of extra sugar.
♥ Use nonfat sour cream and nonfat milk for creamy texture.

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients for filling:
6 cups fresh peaches, sliced
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch

Ingredients for topping:
1-1/3 cup all-purpose, unbleached flour
2 tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
5 tbsp. butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 cup sour cream, nonfat
3 tbsp. milk, nonfat
1 tsp. raw sugar

Preheat oven to 350º. Combine peaches, sugar, and cornstarch. Place in a baking dish. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add butter and whisk in until coarse. Stir in sour cream to soften dough. Spoon the dough over the fruit to form 8 dumplings. Brush each dumpling with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
