Alright, Nolan’s Foodies, let’s whip up this peach cobbler – it’s gonna be fiya. First things first, melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Don’t skimp on the butter, it’s essential for that golden, crispy crust.
Okay, now for them peaches. Grab a saucepan and toss in a can of peaches – juice and all! (or fresh peaches) Add ¼ cup of brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, â…› teaspoon of nutmeg, and if you’re feeling saucey in my North Jersey voice, a tablespoon of whiskey or cognac – it adds a little oomph. Finally, stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Put it over medium heat and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, just until the sugar melts and everything is harmonizing.
While the peaches are doing their thing, Okay somebody! let’s make the topping. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This is where the magic happens. Add ¾ cup of milk and stir it all together. Don’t overmix, just stir until it’s combined – you want it smooth, not stressed my dear.
Now for the grand finale. Pour that batter over the melted butter in the baking dish – don’t stir it! Then, gently spoon the peach mixture over the batter, making sure it’s evenly distributed. This is where the art comes in.
Pop that beauty in the oven and let it bake until it’s golden brown and bubbly. You’ll know it’s ready when it smells absolutely divine and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before serving, and maybe top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that extra level of deliciousness. Let me be the first to tell you this peach cobbler ain’t just a dessert, it’s an experience.
