Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 4 cups (800 g / 28.2 ounces) fresh or canned peach slices (drained if canned)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 g / 4.4 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g / 7.1 ounces) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g / 1.8 ounces) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fluid ounces) milk
- ½ cup (115 g / 4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the culinary workspace by preheating the oven to 375F (190C), creating an ideal environment for baking.
- Craft a silky batter by whisking flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, then smoothly incorporate milk until the mixture reaches a uniform consistency.
- Transform a rectangular baking vessel by generously coating its bottom with melted butter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Gently cascade the prepared batter over the butter’s surface without disturbing the golden liquid base, allowing it to rest undisturbed.
- Artfully arrange peach slices across the batter’s landscape, creating a delicate fruit mosaic that will nestle into the developing cobbler.
- Dust the peach arrangement with a delicate sprinkle of brown sugar and optional cinnamon, which will caramelize during baking and infuse the dessert with warm, aromatic notes.
- Place the assembled cobbler into the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for 40-45 minutes until the top transforms into a golden-brown canvas and the batter rises dramatically around the fruit.
- Remove from the oven and permit the cobbler to rest briefly, letting its flavors meld and settle before serving.
- Present the warm dessert accompanied by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a billowing cloud of whipped cream, enhancing its rustic charm and indulgent character.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet peaches for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your cobbler.
- Enhance the dessert’s texture by using a mix of fresh and slightly firmer peaches for varied consistency.
- Customize the spice level by adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger alongside cinnamon for a more complex taste profile.
- Transform this classic dessert into a gluten-free option by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend.
