Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Medium mixing bowl
- Measuring cups
- Wooden spoon
- Whisk
- Oven mitts
- Serving Ladle
Ingredients
- 4 cups FRESH PEACHES
- 2 cups GRANULATED SUGAR
- 1/2 cup BUTTER
- 1 cup SELF-RISING FLOUR
- 1 cup WHOLE MILK
- 1 tsp CINNAMON
- 1 tbsp LEMON JUICE
- 1/2 cup WATER
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Turn your oven on to 350 degrees right now. Put the butter in your baking dish first. Let it melt in the oven while it heats.
Cook the Peaches
- Put peaches, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Add the lemon juice for a tiny zing. Boil the mixture for about five minutes total.
Mix the Batter
- Whisk the flour, milk, and extra sugar together. Make sure there are no dry white clumps. This will be your golden cobbler crust.
Combine in Pan
- Take the hot dish out of the oven carefully. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter. Do not stir the batter and butter together.
Add the Fruit
- Spoon the warm peaches over the white batter. Pour the peach syrup over the top as well. The crust will rise through the fruit.
Bake Until Gold
- Put the dish back into the hot oven. Bake for forty-five minutes until it looks brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before eating.
Notes
➜ Use ripe peaches for the most natural sugar flavor.
➜ Do not stir the layers for a perfect crust.
➜ Check the center with a spoon for thickness.
➜ Use cold milk for a better batter texture.
➜ Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top before you bake.
➜ Let it sit to thicken the sweet syrup.
