Blueberry Peach Cobbler

We went a little overboard on fruit from the farmer's market, just could not help it...everything is in season! So I found a nice little recipe using two fruits. I must admit, I had a bit of trouble making this pastry dough. Next time I'm just going to use the cream cheese pastry dough recipe. When I finally got the dough to the right consistency, it turned out flakey, but a little dense. (That could describe a lot of people!) I still really liked this dessert and it's even better a la mode. But isn't everything?

Ingredients:

Cobbler Filling

• 4 peaches, pitted and cut into eighths
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tsp corn starch

Put peaches and blueberries in a bowl. In separate bowl, whisk together sugar, cinnamon, ginger and corn starch. Combine sugar mixture and fruit. Set aside fruit filling.

Pastry

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tbs sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 3 tbs heavy cream
• 2 tbs melted and cooled butter
• 1 large egg

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. In separate bowl, whisk egg, cream and melted cooled butter. Add liquid mixture to dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Fill 4 ramekins with filling and place a disk of dough on top. Brush top with egg or butter.

Place ramekins on baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes in 350 degree oven. Broil the top for 1 -2 minutes until golden brown.

I garnished with a scoop of ice cream and glazed walnuts. Yum yum.
