In a large bowl, gently fold together the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and butter.
Pour the fresh peach mixture into the bottom of a 9x13" pan.
The peaches can be cooked on the stove or in the oven. ON THE STOVE cook for 5-10 minutes over medium heat. IN THE OVEN bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees. Then turn the oven down to 350 to bake the cobbler after the biscuit topping is added.
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugars, salt and baking powder, whisking until incorporated evenly. Add the butter and using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the mixture into pea sized pieces.
Add the boiling water, stirring to combine.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture all over the peaches and spread a little to cover the peaches the best you can.
Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees and remove to cool for a few minutes before serving with ice cream.
Notes
Left over cobbler should be covered and refrigerated. It will keep for 5-6 days.
