1950s Peach Cobbler
This is the cake-like dessert that my grandmother routinely made in the 1950s.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the peaches:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick/113g) butter, melted in a 2-quart baking dish
- 1 29-ounce can sliced yellow peaches, drained
For the batter:
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract OR 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup self-rising flour (see note below)
Instructions
- Center the oven rack; preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Pour the drained peaches over the melted butter. Whisk together the batter ingredients in a bowl. Pour the batter over the peaches.
- Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven until the top turns golden-brown -- about 45 minutes.
Notes
To make your own self-rising flour: Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
