how to make Easy Peach Cobbler

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sliced peaches (1 – 16 ounce can or a quart of home canned peaches)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (optional)
  • 1 stick butter (1/4 pound)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, mix the peaches with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch (if using). Drain the peaches and toss them with the sugar mixture.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Place the stick of butter at the bottom of an 8×8 inch glass baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish. Put the dish in the oven to melt the butter. Remove it once the butter is melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and vanilla to create a batter.
  4. Pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not stir it. Gently place the peaches on top of the batter, along with the sugary juice.
  5. Bake the peach cobbler for one hour, or until the crust is golden brown. The batter will rise during baking. If you use a metal pan, the cobbler may be ready in 30-40 minutes, so watch for browning and bubbling.
