½ cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar, divided
1 tablespoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup milk
4 cups fresh peach slices
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
Step 1
Melt butter in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish (or use a 9 by 9 inch pan – just know it will be very full and may flow over the edges).
Step 2
Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt; add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter over butter (do not stir).
Step 3
Bring remaining 1 cup sugar, peach slices, and lemon juice to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly; pour over batter (do not stir). Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
Step 4
Bake at 375° for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve cobbler warm or cool.
