Pour into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined.
Pour thepeaches into the prepared baking dish. Tear off pinches of thedough toppingand drop it onto the surface of the fruit, creating a "cobbled" texture.
Sprinkle additional sugar over the top.
Bake until golden brown and bubbly,30 to 35 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. If the cobbler is too juicy, use a turkey baster to remove a little of the juice (or spoon the juice over ice cream).
