Here’s a simple and delicious peach cobbler recipe:
Ingredients:
- For the peach filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches (sliced)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or whole milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or an equivalent-sized casserole dish. Set aside.
2. Make the Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, and stir gently until a thick batter forms. Don’t overmix.
3. Assemble the Cobbler:
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peach filling, covering as much of the surface as possible.
- You can spread the topping with a spatula or leave it rustic for a more homey look.
4. Bake:
- Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
5. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy your homemade peach cobbler!
