The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the unsalted butter in an 8x8 inch (20cm) square baking dish and set the dish in the oven to melt as it preheats.
About 5 min
2
While the oven heats, pour the canned peaches and their syrup into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from the heat and set aside.
About 5 min
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the granulated sugar for the batter, baking powder, and salt.
About 1 min
4
Pour the milk into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined into a smooth batter. A few small lumps are acceptable.
About 1 min
5
Carefully remove the hot dish with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter directly over the butter; do not stir.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: The batter will sink in some places and rise around the butter, which creates the classic cobbler texture.
6
Spoon the warm peaches and syrup evenly over the batter. Do not stir.
About 1 min
7
Combine the granulated sugar for the topping with the optional ground cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the peaches.
About 1 min
8
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into a cakey portion comes out clean.
About 35 min
9
Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: This allows the cobbler to set slightly and makes it easier to serve.
