Nectarine Ginger Cornmeal Cobbler

Delicious. That is all.

Oh. And easy.

And it will make you feel better about the fact that the day after you make this is the first day of school.

And feel better about the rain.

You know what makes you feel even better about all of that? Wine.

But not too much. There will be loud children surrounding you by 8:15 AM.

But it will be OK.

You packed more of this in your lunch (in lieu of actual fruit).

Nectarine Ginger Cornmeal Cobbler
Adapted from Joy of Cooking


1 1/2 lbs nectarines
1" piece of ginger, grated
1/4 c natural cane sugar
5 T cold butter cut into small chunks
2/3 c unbleached apf
1/3 c corn flour
1/3 c medium grind cornmeal
2 T sugar
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 c milk

Preheat the oven to 350.

Halve and pit the nectarines then slice thinly. Place in an ungreased 8" round casserole dish. Toss with the sugar and grated ginger.

Make the topping by combing the butter and the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until it has the texture of coarse sand. Add the milk. Pulse until the dough cjust omes together.

Drop pieces of dough on top of the nectarines. Brush with a bit of milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 45-50 minutes

Special thanks to The Divine Mrs. D for telling me what to call this (why was I confused about something so simple...school's about to start...I'll likely be confused quite a bit).
