Peach Cobbler Recipe

Peach Cobbler Recipe

Introduction:

Peach cobbler is a classic Southern dessert that features a sweet and juicy peach filling topped with a biscuit-like dough.

This dish is a summer favorite but can be enjoyed year-round using fresh, canned, or frozen peaches.

The preparation is straightforward and offers a delightful alternative to more labor-intensive pies.

Ingredients:

Peaches: 5 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or equivalent canned/frozen)

Sugar: 3/4 cup for the filling

Salt: 1/4 teaspoon

Batter Ingredients:

Butter: 6 tablespoons

All-purpose flour: 1 cup

Sugar: 1 cup

Baking powder: 2 teaspoons

Salt: 1/4 teaspoon

Milk: 3/4 cup

Ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).

Start by melting the butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish as the oven heats.

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until just combined, then pour this batter over the melted butter without stirring.

Toss the sliced peaches with sugar and salt, heat them briefly to dissolve the sugar and release juices, then spoon over the batter.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for about 38-40 minutes until golden brown.

Conclusion:

Serve your peach cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This dessert not only brings the comforting flavors of peaches but also a delightful biscuit topping that’s crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s a perfect dish to end any meal or enjoy as a treat during peach season.
