Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut small
  6. 1 large egg
  7. 2/3 cup heavy cream
  8. 10 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  9. 1/4 cup cornstarch
  10. 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  11. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  12. vanilla ice cream, for serving

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the peaches, cornstarch, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Toss until well combined. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl (or a measuring cup), whisk together the egg and heavy cream.

Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and roughly shape into a 12 inch log.

Using a bench scraper or knife, cut log into 12 equal portions. Place balls of dough on top of peach mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
