How To Make Peach Cobbler Recipe?
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 190°C.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix 600–750g sliced peaches, 100g sugar, zest, and juice of 1 lemon, 1g ground cinnamon (if using), and 8g cornstarch. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 125g flour, 60g cornmeal, 25g sugar, 3.5g baking powder, and 3g salt.
- Add butter: Rub 60g cold butter into the dry mixture with your hands until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Combine wet ingredients: Whisk 120ml buttermilk, 1 egg, and 2.5ml vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add this to the dry mixture and gently combine.
- To assemble the cobbler, Transfer the peach filling to a large baking dish. Tear small pieces of topping and scatter them over the fruit.
- Finish the topping: Brush the dough with 30ml buttermilk and sprinkle 15g Demerara sugar on top.
- Bake: Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Recipe Tips:
- Use ripe peaches: Make sure the peaches are ripe for the best flavor. Slightly soft peaches with a sweet aroma work perfectly.
- Don’t skip the cornstarch: It helps thicken the filling, so the cobbler isn’t too runny.
- Keep the butter cold. Cold butter is essential for creating a crumbly, tender topping. Mix quickly with your hands or a pastry cutter.
- Spread the topping evenly: Tear the topping into small pieces and place them evenly over the peaches to ensure a golden, crispy texture.
- Let it cool slightly before serving: Cooling helps the filling thicken more and prevents it from being too hot to enjoy.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Cool the peach cobbler to room temperature. Cover it well or put it in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Cool the cobbler completely. Wrap it tightly or use a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
