Cobbler
is a dish which generally has a fruit filling with a cake like batter poured
over and baked.. It can be made with
almost any fruit.. Making peach cobbler has always been on my mind for a very
long time.. And i wanted to try it out with fresh peaches rather than
canned..And as peaches come for a very short period of time, I had to plan it
well in advance.. It was the first time i made this dish.. One of the drawbacks
i had in my dish was the peaches were less and the batter was more.. SO there was thick crust of batter over
peaches after it baked.. Next time I would definitely keep this in mind... But
then i have updated the recipe here accordingly... Make sure to pour enough
batter only to cover the peaches.. This would be perfect.. Nevertheless, the
taste was divine.. Hope you have a good time baking this dessert...
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
15-18 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced into quarters
1/3 cup sugar
1tsp cornstarch
1tbsp lemon juice
Pinch Salt
For batter:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2tsp baking powder
1 cup castor sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2tsp vanilla essence
3/4 cup milk
Method: Mix peaches and sugar and keep aside for 30mins.
Keep stirring occassionally.. The juice from peaches will ooze out.. Seive the
juice.. Now in a pan, over medium heat, add the peaches, cornstarch, lemon
juice, salt and 2tbsp of the drained out juice.. Cook for around 8-10 mins till
peaches turn soft and mushy..Preheat oven at 200c.. In a glass dish, melt the
butter.. Add in the peaches to cover the bottom of the dish.. Do not mix and keep aside till you make the batter.. Mix
all the ingredients of batter.. It should be runny, so adjust the milk
accordingly.. Pour this over the peaches and bake at 200c for around 40mins
till the top turns golden brown in color.. Serve it warm with a scoop of
vanilla icecream..
