How to Make It
Let’s get baking!
1. Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even cooking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
Stir in milk and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Pour Batter
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish evenly, spreading it out to cover the bottom.
5. Layer Peaches
Drain the canned peaches and layer them evenly over the batter, allowing some of the juices to seep in for added flavor.
6. Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired, adding a warm spice to complement the sweetness.
7. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool
Let cool slightly before serving to allow the cobbler to set and enhance the flavors.
How to Store It
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, cobbler texture degrades poorly.
Reheat: Microwave for 30-60 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Tips for Best Results
- Ensure your butter is melted but not hot to prevent batter from cooking prematurely.
- For a juicy filling, use peaches packed in juice or heavy syrup.
- Experiment with flavor by adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
- Letting the cobbler cool slightly enhances the texture and flavor before serving.
Serving Suggestions
