Ingredients
Regarding the Filling:
– 4 cups sliced peaches (drained and either fresh or canned).
If using fresh peaches, add 1/2 cup water to 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Regarding the Batter:
One cup granulated sugar, one cup all-purpose flour, and one tablespoon baking powder
– One cup milk – 1/4 tsp salt
One stick of melted unsalted butter (half a cup) and one teaspoon of optional vanilla essence
– Ground cinnamon, optional for sprinkling on top.
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Turn the oven’s temperature up to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Peaches:
– Place the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup water, and 1 cup sugar in a skillet (if using canned peaches, eliminate the water). After bringing to a boil, simmer for ten minutes or so. Take off the heat.
- Prepare the Batter: – Make the batter in the meanwhile, as the peaches are boiling. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and one cup sugar in a mixing dish. Blend well. After carefully stirring in the milk to prevent lumps, stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract, if using. Blend until well combined.
- Put the Cobbler together: Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with the batter. Keep still. Evenly spoon hot peach mixture over batter. Once again, don’t move. When baked, the batter will rise to the top and create a crust.
- Bake: – You may top with ground cinnamon, if you’d like. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown, in a preheated oven.
- Serve: Before serving, let the cobbler cool a little. Serve warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Advice: You may enhance the peach taste by adding a teaspoon of lemon juice and a sprinkle of nutmeg to the combination of peaches. The amount of sugar in the filling may be changed according on how sweet your peaches are.
– This cobbler is a fantastic make-ahead dessert for parties and may be eaten warm or at room temperature.
