Easy Peach Cobbler

I got this recipe from my ex-boyfriend’s mom, and over the years, I’ve baked it a thousand times. It’s incredibly versatile—I switch up the fruits, add different nuts and spices, and experiment with flavours. I’ve also found that using less sugar makes it taste even better. Too much sugar turns the fruity mixture into jam, which can make the cake a bit heavy.

Ingredients

For the filling

• 4 Cups of sliced peaches

• 1 Tbsp lemon juice

• 1 Cup sugar

For the batter

• 1 Cup self-raising flour

• 1 Cup sugar

• 3 Tbsp baking powder

• A pinch of salt

• 1 Cup milk

• 1/2 Cup melted butter

• Cinnamon

Instructions

• Place the peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and lemon juice over very low heat. Cook gently until the sugar has fully melted and the fruit has softened slightly.

TIP: Keep the heat low to prevent the sugar from burning.

• To prepare the batter, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and whisk until incorporated, then pour in the milk and mix until smooth.

• Pour the batter into a deep baking dish—I use a 30cm x 30cm dish. Gently pour the cooked fruit over the batter, then sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 40–45 minutes until golden and set.

• Serve warm or cold with ice cream or whipped cream.
