Traditional Peach Cobbler: An Easy and Delicious Dessert for Summer

A traditional peach cobbler is very comforting and familiar. The delicious peaches covered with a golden brown, biscuit-like topping create a dessert that reminds us of summer picnics and cozy kitchens. This recipe perfectly represents this classic dessert, using basic ingredients and an easy method.

Ingredients

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup white sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
• 9 ounces sliced peaches in sweet syrup (undrained)
• Cinnamon powder (optional) for sprinkling

Directions

1. Heat up and get ready (5 minutes)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the buttery base (2 minutes)

1. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, tilting the dish to ensure the butter coats the bottom evenly.

3. Combine the dry ingredients

1. In a bowl, mix the self-rising flour with 3/4 cup of white sugar. Use a whisk or spoon to ensure everything is thoroughly combined. This dry mixture will be used as the topping for the cobbler.

4. Make the Cobbler (2 minutes)

1. Spread the flour and sugar mixture evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not mix the wet and dry ingredients. The flour will absorb the butter while baking, creating a deliciously crispy and golden crust.

5. Add the peaches (2 minutes)

1. Open the can of sliced peaches and pour them, along with the syrup, over the flour mixture in the baking dish. The syrup adds extra sweetness and moisture to the cobbler.

6. Bake until perfect (45-50 minutes)

1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and crispy, and the peaches are bubbling.

7. Serve hot (a few minutes)

1. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the filling to set slightly.

Final Details and Pleasure

• Sprinkle extra sugar on top for additional sweetness and a crunchy texture.
• If desired, sprinkle some cinnamon over the cobbler for added flavor.
• Enjoy the peach cobbler warm, either by itself or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The combination of ripe peaches with the sugary, buttery topping is simply delightful!
