Peach Cobbler – Easy

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar, divided
  • (better if ½ c. brown sugar and ½ c. white sugar used with peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 cups fresh peach slices
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • (use small amount of vinegar if no lemon juice, added to prevent discoloration)
  • Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (a lot of each sprinkled on top is so so good)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt; add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter over butter (do not stir).

  4. Bake at 375° for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve cobbler warm or cool.
