Georgia Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 pounds ripe peaches (about 6 medium)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Before you cook

• Peel the peaches, cut them off the pit, and slice them about half an inch thick.
• Toss the peach slices with the half cup of sugar and the lemon juice and let them sit for 20 minutes.

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Put the butter in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven until the butter melts, about 6 minutes.
3. Whisk the flour, the one cup of sugar, the baking powder, and the salt together in a bowl.
4. Pour in the milk and vanilla and whisk just until the batter is smooth.
5. Take the hot dish out of the oven and pour the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring.
6. Spoon the peaches and their syrup over the batter, again without stirring.
7. Dust the cinnamon over the top.
8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the batter has risen up around the fruit and the top is deep golden and crisp at the edges.
9. Let the cobbler rest for 20 minutes before spooning it out.
10. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
