Easy old-fashioned Peach Cobbler made with juicy peaches and a simple buttery batter. It bakes up golden and tender for a classic summer dessert that's perfect served warm.
In a saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for just a few minutes over medium heat or until the sugar is dissolved. This will bring out the juices from the peaches. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and add slices of the butter to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place in the oven while it preheats. Once the butter is melted, remove from the oven.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until just combined. Pour the batter into the hot pan, over the melted butter, and stir it into a smooth and even layer.
Spoon the peaches and their juices over the batter and bake for 38 to 40 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Canned peaches: If using canned peaches, use an undrained 1-quart jar.
