How to Make Fresh Peach Cobbler

  1. Combine 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar in a large bowl.
  2. Let the peach mixture stand for at least 4 hours at room temperature.
  3. To make the pastry: Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  4. Cut in 1 cup cold shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice-cold water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Gather the dough into a ball, divide it in half, and flatten each half into a disk.
  7. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  10. Pour the undrained peaches into the prepared baking dish. Dot with 1 stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  11. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of dough into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle.
  12. Cut the dough into 11 strips, each 1-inch wide.
  13. Arrange half of the strips across the peaches in one direction, spacing them 1 inch apart.
  14. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar.
  15. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the pastry is beginning to brown.
  16. While the cobbler is baking, roll out the remaining dough and cut it into 1-inch wide strips.
  17. Remove the cobbler from the oven. Arrange the remaining strips over the peaches, creating a lattice pattern.
  18. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.
  19. Bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
