Lazy Man’s Peach Cobbler

Directions

Step 1: Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of butter or margarine in a 9×13-inch baking pan and melt it in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking pan. Do not stir the batter into the butter. Spoon the sweetened fruit evenly over the top of the batter, leaving it layered rather than mixed.

Step 4: Bake and Serve

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly around the edges. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
