Preparation :
Begin by preparing the peaches. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into even pieces. For frozen or canned peaches, ensure they are thawed and drained.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of lemon juice.
Toss to coat evenly, allowing the mixture to sit for a few minutes to release the peaches’ natural juices.
Prepare the cobbler batter by whisking together flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Melt butter in your baking dish by placing it in the oven as it preheats. Once melted, remove the dish and pour the batter evenly over the butter without stirring.
Carefully spoon the peach mixture over the batter, ensuring an even distribution. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling around the edges. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
How to Make
Start with ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture. Fresh peaches are ideal, but frozen or canned ones work well if fresh aren’t available. Adjust the sweetness based on the type of peaches you use.
Peeling fresh peaches is easier if you blanch them first. Dip them in boiling water for a few seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. The skins will slide off effortlessly.
When mixing the peach filling, taste and adjust the spices and sugar to your liking. Some prefer a spicier cobbler with extra cinnamon and nutmeg, while others keep it mild.
