• 1 pinch Kosher Salt (for the peach filling)
• 2 tablespoons Cognac or Brandy (adds depth to the fruit sauce)

1. Blanch, shock, peel and cut peaches

   Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the whole peaches for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice‑water bath. Peel the skins, halve, remove pits and cut into wedges.

   Time: PT15M

2. Cook the peach filling

   In the saucepan, combine the peach wedges, ½ cup sugar, a pinch of kosher salt and a splash of cognac or brandy. Bring to a boil over medium‑high, then reduce to medium‑low and simmer 10‑12 minutes until the fruit softens and releases juice.

   Time: PT12M

3. Mix dry batter ingredients

   In a mixing bowl whisk together 1½ cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1½ teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of kosher salt until evenly combined.

   Time: PT5M

4. Add wet ingredients and rest batter

   Create a well in the dry mixture, pour in ¾ cup whole milk and add 2 beaten eggs. Stir just until incorporated, then let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

5. Incorporate melted butter

   Stir the ½ cup melted unsalted butter into the rested batter until smooth.

   Time: PT2M

6. Assemble cobbler in baking dish

   Transfer the cooked peach mixture to a greased 9×13‑inch baking dish using a slotted spoon, reserving the juice in the bottom. Pour the batter over the peaches, spreading gently if needed, but do not stir.

   Time: PT5M

7. Bake

   Place the dish in a pre‑heated oven at 375°F and bake for 38‑42 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

   Time: PT40M

   Temperature: 375°F
