      How to make peach cobbler:

      Preheat your oven to 375°F (175°C). Butter your cast iron cobbler pan.

      Prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated and brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Toss everything together until peaches are coated, set aside.

      Make the batter:
      In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
      Gradually add milk and whisk until smooth. Set aside.

      Add the batter: Pour batter evenly over the peaches. Do not stir—this is key to getting that delicious, cobbler-style texture.

      Bake: Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling up around the edges.

      Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

      It’s best enjoyed warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

      Butter is always essential in baking, but browning the butter adds a richness and nutty flavor just like with my spiced pumpkin bread.
