Ingredients
- Mom's Peach Cobbler
- 5 to 6 medium ripe peaches (peeled)
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
- 1/3 cup sugar (plus 3/4 cup)
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup sifted all purpose flour
- For the Topping
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2/3 cup boiling water
- vanilla ice cream (to serve)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
-
Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place halved peaches on grill, cut-side-down, and cook until charred.
-
Remove peaches to a cutting board.
-
Allow to cool slightly.
-
When cool enough to handle, slice grilled peaches lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices.
-
To a large mixing bowl, add sliced peaches, 1/3 cup sugar and the juice of half a lemon. Let macerate for 30 minutes.
-
Arrange the peaches in the bottom of a 13 × 9-inch baking dish.
-
Combine the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, butter, baking powder, salt, milk, and flour in a medium bowl.
-
Pour the batter over the peaches.
-
To make the topping, combine the cornstarch, sugar, and cinnamon together.
-
Sprinkle over the top of the batter.
-
It’s okay if the batter doesn’t cover all the fruit, it spreads during baking.
-
Pour the boiling water evenly over the topping.
-
Bake for 45 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.
-
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side
