Description

This traditional Southern peach cobbler offers a comforting balance of sweet, juicy fruit and a tender, cake-like topping. The recipe relies on simple pantry staples like flour, sugar, and butter to create a warm, aromatic dessert that captures the essence of home cooking. The peaches soften and release their natural juices during baking, creating a luscious filling that pairs perfectly with the crisp, golden crust. It is an ideal treat for summer gatherings, family dinners, or as a nostalgic comfort food on cooler evenings. Serve it warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the full Southern experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices.
  3. Place butter in an 8x12x2 inch baking dish and place it in the oven while preheating, or melt it separately and pour it into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  5. Add milk to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir the batter into the butter.
  7. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream.
