📖 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crutial for that nice, even baking.
2. Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, gently toss sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (if using). Make sure the peaches are evenly coated with the mixture.
3. Transfer to baking dish: Pour the peach mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. An important step dont skip it!
4. Make the topping: In a seperate large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
5. Cut in butter: Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is where your patience will really shine. Don't rush it!
6. Add milk: Stir in 1/2 cup milk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Drop dough: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peach mixture. Don't worry about perfection. Rustic is charming!
8. Sprinkle with sugar: Sprinkle the top of the dough with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. This gives it a lovely sparkle and added crunch.
9. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbly. Keep an eye on it! Ovens can vary.
10. Cool slightly: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. This prevents it from being too liquidy.
11. Serve: Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Or both! Who's judging?
12. Enjoy!
