Ingredients
Scale
- 5 peaches, peeled, cored and sliced (4 cups / 600 g)
- 2 cups granulated sugar (400 g)
- 6 tbsps butter (85 g)
- ¾ cup milk (180 ml)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Ground cinnamon (to taste)
Instructions
- Fruit Preparation: Meld ripe peaches with granulated sugar and a hint of salt in a saucepan, coaxing out their natural sweetness and creating a luscious syrup.
- Oven Prepping: Ignite the oven to 350°F, strategically positioning butter in a 9 x 13-inch baking vessel to melt and coat the dish’s interior.
- Batter Crafting: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, then introduce whole milk, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Layering Technique: Cascade the velvety batter into the butter-glazed dish, spreading it evenly across the surface, then cascade the peach mixture atop the batter, allowing the syrup to intermingle with the base.
- Aromatic Finishing: Dust the surface with ground cinnamon, creating a fragrant blanket that promises depth and warmth.
- Baking Finale: Slide the dish into the heated oven, allowing it to transform for 38-40 minutes until the top achieves a golden-brown complexion and a toothpick emerges pristine when tested. Rest briefly before serving, optionally crowned with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for indulgent contrast.
Notes
- Peach Selection Matters: Choose ripe, fragrant peaches at peak season for the most vibrant and sweet flavor profile in your cobbler.
- Butter Melting Technique: Let butter melt completely in the baking dish before adding batter to create a crispy, golden bottom crust that adds delightful texture.
- Syrup Consistency is Key: Cook peaches until they release natural juices and create a syrupy texture, which ensures deep fruit flavor and prevents a watery cobbler.
- Cinnamon Sprinkle Boost: Ground cinnamon provides a warm, aromatic touch that elevates the entire dessert’s complexity and brings out the peaches’ natural sweetness.
