Step 1: Preheat and Melt Butter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place butter in a 9×9-inch pan and melt while the oven warms. This gives the cobbler a rich, golden base.
Step 2: Prepare Batter
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk. Stir gently until smooth. The batter should be pourable but not thin.
Step 3: Layer Batter and Peaches
Remove the pan with melted butter. Pour the batter over the butter—do not stir. Spoon the peaches with juice evenly over the batter, gently scattering them around.
Step 4: Add Cinnamon (Optional)
Sprinkle cinnamon lightly over the top for a touch of warmth.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 38–44 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach juice bubbles around the edges. Let it cool slightly before serving.
