METHOD

To make the dough:

To prepare the fruit:
Whisk together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. Toss the peaches with a large spoon until they are coated with the sugar mixture.

To assemble and bake the cobbler: Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F.

Spread the peaches evenly in an 8- or 9-inch baking pan or 6 ramekins. Scoop lumps of dough on top of the peaches with a tbsp.

Make sure to rotate it after 20 minutes to ensure even baking.
