Instructions to make sourdough peach cobbler

Start with the peaches, If your peaches are soft you will have to blanch them to easily remove the skin. Start by placing the peaches in a pot with boiling water for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon take the peaches out and place them in a bowl with ice water to cool them off. Slip the skins off the peaches. If you have harder peaches you can just use a peeler to take the skin off. Or if you don’t mind the skin you can leave it on.

Cut the peaches into slices, about 1/4 inch in thickness.

Pre-heat the oven to 400F. Add all the peach slices into an oven safe pan, to the peaches add 1 cup sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tbl flour, mix. To the top of the peaches add a 4tbl of cold sliced butter. Bake the peaches for 20 minutes.

While the peaches are baking get started on the topping. To a mixing bowl add 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 cup active sourdough starter. Read how to make sourdough starter here
