Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced peaches
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler will bake evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to release.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. This will be your dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. This will be your wet mixture.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully spoon the peach mixture over the batter, making sure to distribute the peaches evenly. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set up a bit more.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra treat.
Tips
- • Use ripe, in-season peaches for the most intense flavor. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen peaches work wonderfully too. • Don't overmix the batter - a few lumps are actually desirable and will help create a tender texture. • For extra richness, consider using whole milk or even adding a splash of heavy cream to the wet ingredients. • Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the juices to set and make serving easier. • Serve warm for the best taste and texture, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. • If you like a more caramelized top, broil the cobbler for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning. • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the cobbler's texture.
