Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8; 3/4 cup fruit mixture and 1 ¿biscuit¿ per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray

Filling

3 pounds fresh peaches, peeled and sliced, or 2 pounds frozen unsweetened sliced peaches, thawed if frozen
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (don’t thaw if frozen)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon sugar, divided use
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons canola or corn oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray an 11 x 7 x 2-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the filling ingredients, gently stirring with a rubber scraper. Spoon into the baking dish.

    Step 3

    Bake for 20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly at the edges. Transfer the baking dish to a cooling rack. (Leave the oven on.)

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the whole-wheat flour, remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in the buttermilk and oil, stirring until the dough is just moistened but no flour is visible.

    Step 5

    When the filling is ready, using scant 1/4 cup measures to make 8 mounds of dough, spoon the topping onto the filling. Sprinkle the cobbler with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

    Step 6

    Bake for 15 minutes, or until the topping is puffed and lightly browned. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

  2. Cook’s Tip on citrus zest

    Step 7

    An implement called a zester makes quick work of removing the peel, or zest, of citrus fruit. Use rather firm downward strokes, being careful to avoid cutting into any of the pith, the white bitter covering just beneath the peel. Measuring will be easy if you work over a small plate.
