Peach Cobbler (Two portions)
This simple peach cobbler recipe from 1900 offers a comforting taste of history with a sweet and fruity flavor. Featuring juicy peaches baked in a tender, slightly sweet biscuit topping, this dessert is a classic combination of textures and tastes. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 3 good-sized Peaches
- 1/3 cup Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Water
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.
- 2Slice the peaches and place them in a small saucepan. Add the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the peaches soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 3Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the peach mixture into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peaches. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
