- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added sweetness. For best flavor, ripe peaches are recommended. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor, and letting the batter sit for a few minutes before pouring can result in a thicker cobbler.
