Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler will bake evenly and rise properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Gently toss the peaches to coat them in sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
- In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. This will form the dry mixture for the batter.
- Add the melted butter and milk to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter into the bottom of the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Carefully spoon the peach mixture over the batter, including any juices that have accumulated. Do not stir; the peaches will sink as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help it set up a bit more.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. Enjoy your delicious Elliot Bay Cafe Peach Cobbler!
Tips
- Choose ripe, in-season peaches for the most intense flavor. If fresh peaches aren't available, high-quality frozen peaches work well too.
- Let the peaches macerate (sit with sugar) to release their natural juices and enhance sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter - lumpy is good! This ensures a tender, light texture.
- Use a light-colored baking dish to prevent over-browning and ensure even baking.
- For an extra flavor boost, add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter or sprinkle some raw sugar on top before baking.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the cobbler's delightful texture.
