Ingredients
Scale
For the Cobbler Batter
- 1/2 cup Butter (Melted)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Or self-rising flour for fluffier texture)
- 1 cup Sugar (Feel free to reduce for less sweetness)
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder (A leavening agent)
- 1/4 tsp Salt (Enhances flavor)
- 1 cup Milk (2%) (Substitute with almond or oat milk for dairy-free option)
For the Peach Topping
- 1 can Sliced Peaches (Canned, fresh or frozen can be used)
- Reserved 1/4 cup Peach Juice (from the canned peaches)
For Serving
- 1 cup Whipped Cream or Ice Cream (A must for serving warm)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Melt Butter: Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a shallow 2-quart baking dish, spreading it evenly as the base layer.
- Prepare Peaches: Drain the canned peaches, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. In a saucepan, boil the sliced peaches with the reserved juice until warmed through to enhance flavor and aroma.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually stir in 1 cup milk until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter gently over the melted butter in the baking dish. Spoon the hot peach mixture evenly over the batter, then sprinkle any remaining sugar on top to add sweetness and help create a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cobbler is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Scoop the warm peach cobbler into bowls or plates, and top generously with whipped cream or ice cream for a delightful, creamy finish.
Notes
- For a fluffier texture, use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk to make the recipe dairy-free.
- Reduce the sugar amount if you prefer less sweetness.
- Fresh or frozen peaches can be used as alternatives to canned peaches; adjust cooking time slightly if using fresh.
- Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and warm flavors.
