Description
Ina Garten’s peach cobbler recipe combines sweet summer peaches with a golden, buttery topping that melts in your mouth. Baked until golden and bubbling, this classic dessert invites you to savor each spoonful of fruity comfort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 peaches (about 4 cups), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsps butter
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheating: Position the oven rack centrally and warm to 350°F (175°C) for optimal baking conditions.
- Peach Preparation: Skin, pit, and slice peaches into uniform segments. Transfer to a saucepan with granulated sugar and salt, cooking over medium heat until sugar dissolves and fruits release a rich, glossy syrup.
- Butter Foundation: Melt butter pieces directly in a 9×13 inch baking dish within the warming oven, creating a golden base for the cobbler.
- Batter Creation: Whisk flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Incorporate whole milk to form a slightly textured batter with a rustic consistency.
- Assembly: Pour batter over the melted butter without disrupting the golden layer. Strategically distribute peach mixture and syrup across the surface, ensuring even coverage. Dust ground cinnamon over the top to elevate the aromatic profile.
- Baking: Roast in the preheated oven for 38-42 minutes until the surface transforms to a rich golden-brown and edges bubble enthusiastically, signaling perfect doneness.
- Serving: Rest the cobbler for 10-15 minutes, then present with a decadent scoop of vanilla ice cream for a sublime dessert experience.
Notes
- Butter Placement Trick: Melting butter directly in the baking dish creates a crispy, golden crust that helps prevent sticking and adds rich flavor.
- Peach Preparation Tip: Remove peach skins quickly by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transferring to ice water for easy peeling.
- Batter Mixing Technique: Avoid overmixing the batter; slight lumps ensure a tender, light cobbler texture that doesn’t become tough or dense.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the cobbler rest briefly after baking to allow the juices to set, preventing a runny dessert and ensuring perfect slice presentation.
