Step-by-step baking instructions
Follow these steps for a reliable, golden cobbler every time.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish and tilt to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk until smooth.
- Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not stir; the batter will spread on top of the butter.
- Arrange the drained peach slices evenly over the batter.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling bubbles.
- Remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes before serving warm.
