Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler
Lauren Allen of Tastes Better From Scratch
Notes
Don't be afraid to experiment and adapt this recipe to your tastes. I switched out the milk for buttermilk in equal amounts and added a bit of brown sugar to the butter to add a caramelized depth to the dish! Recipe directions have been adapted from the original source.
Ingredients
- Peach Preparation:
5 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups) *frozen peaches can be substituted in equal amounts
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- For the Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
- Additional Ingredients:
6 tablespoons of butter
Ground cinnamon to taste
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Add 4 cups of sliced peaches to a deep pan. If you can't find ripe peaches, frozen peaches work equally well. Add 3/4 cup of sugar to the peaches, and cook over medium heat until the peaches are softened and bubbling. Remove from heat.
- Add butter to bottom of baking dish. Place in oven until melted. Remove from oven. Swirl until butter evenly coats the bottom.
- Begin making your batter. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a bowl. Combine gently with 3/4 cup of milk (or buttermilk) until smooth. Pour batter over the melted butter within the baking dish. Do not mix. If the batter forms in the middle of your dish, you can direct it to spread more evenly if needed.
- Add peaches to the batter layer without mixing. Top with cinnamon and brown sugar to taste.
- Once oven has reached 350 degrees, place your unbaked cobbler into the oven for 40 minutes.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
