Yes, the cornmeal does lend a slight grittiness to the biscuit dough that, which won't necessarily be welcomed by all. Although I'm concerned that you find the cobbler to be bland, as we had a very different experience. Was it just the biscuit that you found to be not to your liking or the filling as well?

The topping is light and nicely textured from the cornmeal, even though it looks wet and doughy when you put it in the oven (don't be fooled, it's supposed to look like that). The peaches are sweet with just the right hint of cinnamon. I dare say that the better quality the peaches, the better the result will be—and the easier they'll be to stone, which I found to be the most time-consuming part of the process. This cobbler is a comforting, traditional dessert that had everyone wanting seconds. [Carol Anne G.] This recipe was easy to follow and produced perfect results—what more could you ask for?

It was simple to make (as most cobblers are), looked beautiful (with the contrast of the golden topping against the darker brown filling), and tasted delicious. My peaches weren't as sweet as I’d have liked them to be, so the sweetness of the filling was just right with the amount of sugar added. However, I’d suggest tasting your peaches first—if they're very sweet, cut back on the sugar. I’ll definitely make this cobbler again, using not only peaches, but other summer fruits.

Unlike some cobblers, it wasn't too sweet, and the topping was light, not gluey. I served it to a group of teenagers and adults, and everyone unanimously loved it. The only thing I’d change if I made it again (and I’ll be making it again!) would be to remove the skins from the peaches. When the cobbler cooked, the skin separated from the peaches, which was a bit distracting. Other than that, I didn't change a thing.

I’ll be making this one again as we all enjoyed the taste and texture of the biscuit topping with that bit of stone-ground cornmeal. The recipe was clear and easy to follow except for one thing: It said to drop the topping by handfuls. My dough was a bit to moist to use my hands, so I just used the spatula to drop what I thought a handful was.

This recipe was so easy to follow and get in the oven. Any fruit in season would work in place of the peaches. The only thing I'd change for next time would be to add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar to the cornmeal drop-biscuit dough. [Sandy Hill] Talk about a homey and delicious cobbler!

As a big fan of the Lee Brothers, especially their desserts, I had high hopes for this one. It didn't disappoint. All of the ingredients are pretty easy to find, and the biscuits were such a lovely color. I loved the way the lemon juice brought all the flavors together in the filling. Next time, I’ll double this recipe for sure. [Anna S.] Fabulous recipe! As a big fan of the Lee Brothers, especially their desserts, I had high hopes for this one. It didn’t disappoint.

This recipe is so easy, you’ll read it again and again just to be sure you didn't forget anything. The peach filling is just perfect—not too sweet, not too thick. The cornmeal drop biscuit is the only thing that needs a bit of an adjustment. It’s almost too sweet, and I’d cut back or eliminate the brown sugar that’s in it. Of course, tasting your peaches first might help here—if they’re really sweet, which mine were, you could leave out about two-thirds of the sugar. But this is just a personal thing, as “too sweet” for some is sometimes not enough for others. All said and done (and devoured), it’s an easy, beautiful, delicious dessert that I’m trying for breakfast! P.S.: A scoop of vanilla ice-cream brings this dish to an A+.

The recipe suggests serving the cobbler warm, but it tastes great cold or at room temperature. When I made the cobbler, my peaches were very ripe, so I followed the suggestion not to add the water to the peach filling. Next time, if I have sweet and juicy peaches, I’ll cut back on the amount of brown sugar in the filling. The cobbler was a little bit on the sweet side this first time, but still very delicious.
