Peach Cobbler

Welcome back! 
Today, we have a Southern favorite: Peach Cobbler! In fact, peach cobbler is so loved, it's become Texas's official state cobbler, and you can find it at any real barbecue place in the South. Cobblers are an easy way to bake your summer fruits into a warm, delicious dish, whether it be apples, berries, or of course, peaches. You basically throw all your ingredients together and toss it in the oven (a couple of times) and that's your cobbler!

Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

For the filling:
  • 4 large peaches (about 2 pounds), cut into small chunks
  • Juice from half of a lemon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
For the topping:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
Optionally, you can add some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, either to the filling or the topping.

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, mix the peaches with the lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, and corn starch.
  2. Put the peaches into your baking dish and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

  3. In another bowl, sift in the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix these ingredients together.
  4. Add in the small pieces of cold butter and with a pastry blender, mix it into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
  5. Mix the yogurt with the milk. Add this mixture into the bowl and mix until the dough is no longer floury, but still remains in clumps.

  6. Once the peaches are done cooking, place the chunks of the topping on top of the dish. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.

  7. Bake the entire dish at 350°F for 40 minutes.
This peach cobbler is great because it has everything that you want in a dessert: the gooey, juicy peaches pair exquisitely with the crisp, fluffy topping. Despite being made of two very distinct parts, the juices from the peach seep into the dough above and create a strong cohesive bond that completes the cobbler. And don't let your enjoyment of cobblers stop with just peaches, treat yourself to cobblers made with other seasonal fruit that you find!

Fig Crème Fraîche Cake

Welcome back!  Today, we have a cake featuring an interesting fruit: the fig! Figs are typically eaten dried or in some processed form because they don't stay fresh for long, so making this dish out of fresh figs was quite nice. Once completed, the fig flavor blends in very well with the rest of the cake and creates a dessert that is flavorful but not overly rich. Fig Crème Fraîche Cake Makes a 9" cake Ingredients: 1/2 pound figs, quartered (if you have big figs, maybe 6-8 slices) 120 grams cake flour 50 grams almond flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 50 grams sugar 60 grams honey 120 grams crème fraîche 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier 1/2 cup melted butter Directions: In a bowl, sift in the dry ingredients (cake flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt).

Instant Pot Leg of Lamb

Welcome back!  Today, we have another lamb recipe, this time for a different cut. It has the similar lamb flavor and also features the key ingredient of rosemary, but this recipe works nicely as a stew, so it's rather different from the other two. Fun fact, Greece is the top consumer of sheep meet per capita in the world, which makes sense as lamb is a common Mediterranean meat. Rosemary also originates from the Mediterranean, so it's a perfect combination!  Instant Pot Leg of Lamb Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 4-5 pounds lamb leg (boneless) 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 sprigs of rosemary and thyme, chopped Salt and pepper to taste 1 1/2 cup total of chicken stock and/or water (we used 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup dry white wine) Other vegetables: potatoes, carrots, zucchini 2 tablespoons cornstarch A little water Directions: Dry the lamb with a paper towel. Then, tie it with some twine to keep everything together Season the lamb by rub...
