Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or canned/frozen peaches)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, allowing it to coat the bottom for a rich, buttery base. - Make the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until just combined, ensuring a smooth batter. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, but don’t stir. The batter will naturally rise and form a delicious crust during baking. - Prepare the Peaches:
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a hint of spice and freshness. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter in the baking dish without stirring, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly as it bakes. - Bake the Cobbler:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown on top, with the batter having risen around the peaches to create a tender, juicy filling. - Serve:
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or a generous dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate comfort dessert.
