Reimagined Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Topping:
- 140 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 175 g milk
- 100 g unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Peach Filling:
- 3 yellow peaches
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 50 g brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Topping Mixture: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until just combined.
- Blanching Peaches: Prepare ice water. Boil water in a pot, blanch peaches for 30-60 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Once cooled, peel and slice them.
- Peach Filling: Place sliced peaches in a 9-inch baking dish. Add lemon juice, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Toss to coat.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the topping mixture over the peaches, leaving some spots uncovered for a rustic look.
- Baking: Bake for 60-65 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cooling: Allow to cool for 1 hour to set the filling.
- Serving: Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream.
Note: Blanching peaches makes peeling easier, but you can skip this step and leave the skin on for a more rustic texture.
