Jump to Recipe

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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare oven and fruit

    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.

  2. Make topping

    Melt butter. In a bowl whisk flour, baking powder, salt and remaining 40 g sugar. Stir in milk and vanilla just until combined.

  3. Assemble

    Spoon batter evenly over peaches; it need not cover every spot. Drizzle melted butter over topping if not already incorporated; ensure dish is not overfilled.

  4. Bake

    Bake 35 to 45 minutes until topping is golden and peach juices bubble at edges.

  5. Rest and serve

    Cool 10 to 15 minutes so filling thickens. Serve warm.

How to tell when it is ready

Topping is golden and peach juices bubble around the edge; filling thickens as it rests.

Tips

  • Drain thawed peaches if very watery.
  • Do not overmix the topping batter.
  • Leave some fruit visible through topping.
  • Rest before serving so filling thickens.
