Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- 4 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and melt the butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish to create a buttery base for the cobbler.
- Make Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the whole milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Layer Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring to keep the layers distinct.
- Prepare Peach Topping: In another bowl, mix the sliced peaches with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon until the fruit is well-coated with the mixture.
- Add Peach Mixture: Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter layer, again without stirring to maintain the cobbler’s structure.
- Bake Cobbler: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 to 15 minutes to set, which enhances the flavors and texture before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe, fresh peaches when in season, or well-drained canned peaches if fresh are unavailable.
- This cobbler can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative, but it may slightly alter the texture.
- Ensure not to stir after layering batter and peaches to get a classic cobbler texture with distinctive layers.
