Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

• 2 cans (29 oz each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup, drained (reserve 1 cup syrup)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the stick of butter in a 9x13 baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while it preheats.

2. 2

   In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

3. 3

   Add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined — a few small lumps are okay.

4. 4

   Remove the baking dish from the oven once the butter is melted. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter. Do NOT stir.

5. 5

   Arrange the peach slices evenly over the batter. Pour the reserved cup of peach syrup over everything. Do NOT stir.

6. 6

   Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cobbler has puffed up around the peaches.

7. 7

   Let cool for 10 minutes. The batter magically rises up and around the peaches to form the crust.

8. 8

   Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
