Main ingredient: salted butter
Ingredients
- Salted butter, for greasing the baking dish
- 3 1/2 lb fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- For the topping:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup salted butter, diced and cold
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, such as sugar in the raw
- Vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream, for serving
Method
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the peach slices with the 2/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, kosher salt and lemon juice until evenly coated. Pour into the prepared dish.
- For the topping, whisk the flour, 1/3 cup sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk just until a thick, shaggy batter forms.
- Drop the batter in large spoonfuls over the peaches, leaving some gaps for the fruit to bubble through. Sprinkle the top with the coarse sugar.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is thick and bubbling around the edges.
- Let the cobbler rest for at least 15 minutes so the filling sets slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
