Peach Cobbler
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Combine butter, flour, salt, and a little sugar in a bowl to create a shaggy dough.
- 2Add vodka and ice water to the dough mixture.
- 3Press the dough together and cut and stack it instead of kneading to ensure a flaky crust.
- 4Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and roll it into the plastic to further incorporate without overworking.
- 5Let the dough rest.
- 6Prepare the peach filling by cooking peaches with brown sugar, white sugar, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla paste.
- 7Roll out one portion of the rested dough on a well-floured surface with a well-floured rolling pin for the bottom layer.
- 8Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough into a cast iron skillet.
- 9Cut off any excess dough and fold it over to form the crust edge.
- 10Dock the bottom crust with a fork.
- 11Blind bake the crust with pie weights (beans) for 20 minutes.
- 12Remove pie weights and finish par-baking the crust.
- 13Pour the peach filling into the blind-baked crust.
- 14Roll out the second portion of dough for the top layer.
- 15Cut the rolled dough into strips for the lattice crust.
- 16Weave the dough strips to create a lattice top for the cobbler.
- 17Clean up the edges of the lattice crust.
- 18Refrigerate the cobbler to chill the crust.
- 19Apply an egg wash to the lattice crust before baking.

Tips
- Do not overmix the dough to ensure flakiness.
- Cut and stack the dough instead of kneading to keep butter pieces unincorporated for flaky layers.
- Use vodka and ice water in the dough to stop gluten formation and enhance flakiness.
- Chill the pie crust in the freezer or refrigerator after forming to maintain shape and flakiness.
- Blind bake the bottom crust with pie weights (beans) to prevent a soggy bottom.
