Peach and Banana Cobbler

This dessert can be maked with peach, pear, apple, banana, berries, ... whatever you prefer.

Ingredients (for 6 people):

• 1 can of Peach slices (in fruit juice)
• 1 or 2 sliced Bananas
• 1/2 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Cornflour
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract or Almond essence
• 175 grams plain Flour
• 115 grams Caster sugar
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 85 grams  Butter (diced and chilled)
• 1 Egg
• 5 or 6 tablespoons Milk

Preparation Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC.
2. Put the peaches and the banana (or your chosen fruits) in a 23 cm square, ovenproof dish that is also suitable for serving.
3. Add the lemon juice, cornflour and vanilla extract, or almond essence, and toss together.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, make the topping. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together into a bowl.
6. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
7. Beat the egg with 5 tablespoons of milk and add it to the mixture gradually.
8. Mix with a fork to form a soft, sticky dough. If the dough seems dry, stir in the extra tablespoon of milk.
9. Take out the fruit from the oven and reduce the temperature to 200ºC.
10. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the surface, without smoothing as it will spread as it cooks.
11. Bake for 15 minutes more, or until the topping is golden brown and firm. Control the time as each oven is different.
