== Ingredients ==
=== Cobbler ===
* 9 ripe medium peaches (3 pounds)
* 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
* ½ cup + 2 tsp sugar
* ¼ tsp grated nutmeg

# Preheat oven to 400°F.
# Peel peaches by immersing them in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with slotted spoon.
# Cool peaches under cold running water, then slip off skins.
# Slice peaches into wedges directly into a 2-inch-deep, 2-quart baking dish or deep 10-inch pie plate (give knife a twist to release slices).
# Toss peaches with lemon juice and ½ cup sugar.
# Cover fruit with foil, and bake until peaches are hot and juices bubble, about 15 minutes.
=== Topping ===
# In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
# Cut in butter with two knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas.
# Pour buttermilk over top.
# Toss with fork until mixture clumps together.
# Using two spoons, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough evenly spaced over peaches.
