Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (peaches, berries, etc.)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and prepare the fresh fruit by removing stems, pits, or any blemishes. If using frozen fruit, thaw and drain excess liquid.
- Spread the prepared fruit evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Gradually pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring continuously to create a smooth batter without lumps.
- Carefully pour the batter over the fruit, ensuring it covers the fruit evenly but does not completely mix with the fruit.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips
- • Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the most intense flavor – peaches, mixed berries, or cherries work wonderfully • For extra richness, use whole milk or even substitute half-and-half • Don't overmix the batter; a few small lumps are perfectly okay • Make sure your butter is fully melted but not scorching hot • For a crispy top, consider sprinkling a little extra sugar before baking • Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate comfort dessert experience • This recipe freezes beautifully – make an extra batch for later enjoyment!
