Peach cobbler pairs juicy fruit with a tender, biscuit-like topping. The source’s sugar amount is large for only two cups of peaches and the assembly order is unclear, so this version uses a measured fruit layer and a simple spooned batter. Fresh or thawed frozen peaches both work; if the fruit is very juicy, toss it with a little flour to help the filling set. Bake until the fruit bubbles around the edges and the topping is golden. Let the cobbler rest briefly before serving so the syrup thickens. Heat oven to 180°C (350°F). Toss peaches with 60 g sugar, lemon juice and optional zest. Spread in a 20 cm baking dish. Melt butter. In a bowl whisk flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 40 g sugar. Stir in milk and vanilla just until combined.
