Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced Georgia peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to coat the peaches evenly.

Step 3: Transfer the peach mixture to a baking dish or a cast-iron skillet, spreading it out evenly.

Step 4: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5: Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour until crumbly.

Step 6: Slowly pour in the milk while stirring the flour mixture until a thick batter forms.

Step 7: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the peaches, covering most of the surface. Leave some gaps for the peaches to peek through.

Step 8: Sprinkle the top of the cobbler with a little sugar to add a touch of sweetness and a golden crust.

Step 9: Place the baking dish or skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.

Step 10: Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 11: Serve the warm Georgia Peach Cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat.
