Ingredients

• For the Peach Filling:
• 6 cups of fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• For the Cobbler Crust:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup boiling water
• For the Buttermilk Ice Cream:
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt for the peach filling. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
3. Transfer the peach filling into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cobbler crust.
5. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Pour the boiling water over the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach filling, covering it as evenly as possible.
8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
9. While the cobbler is baking, prepare the buttermilk ice cream. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, buttermilk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
10. Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
11. Once the cobbler is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
12. Serve the warm peach cobbler with a scoop of freshly churned buttermilk ice cream and enjoy!
