Dori Sanders’ Peach Cobbler

(Serves 6 to 8)

Ingredients

• ½ C unsalted butter, melted
• 2 C sugar
• 1 C all-purpose flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 C whole milk
• 4 C peeled, pitted, thinly sliced peaches
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• several dashes of cinnamon or nutmeg

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Pour the butter into a 33 x 23 x 5cm casserole dish and set aside.

Combine one cup of the sugar, the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Add the milk, mixing until just combined. Pour this batter over the butter, but do not stir to combine.

In a small saucepan combine the peaches, the remaining cup of sugar and the lemon juice. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Once it’s reached a boil, pour over the batter without stirring to combine.

Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg. Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

Remove to a rack to cool slightly and then serve.
