Description

This classic Southern Peach Cobbler is the ultimate comfort food for summer evenings. Sliced peaches macerate in sugar, releasing their natural juices to create a luscious filling. The batter, made with flour, baking powder, and butter, forms a soft, cake-like topping that bakes to a perfect golden brown. Serve it warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast to the warm, spiced fruit.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches and 1/4 cup sugar. Toss gently to coat and let stand for 10 minutes to release juices.
  3. Place butter or margarine in an 8x12-inch baking dish and place in the preheating oven until melted, or melt in the microwave and pour into the dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined into a smooth batter.
  6. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
  7. Gently spoon the peach mixture and its juices over the batter, distributing evenly without mixing.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
