I make - Magic Peach Cobbler

I accidently came across this "magic cobbler" recipe. Looks and tastes like British sponge pudding but easier. Yum!

Magic Peach Cobbler, adapted from here

For the filling:

5 peaches , peeled, cored and sliced (about 4 cups)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

or 4 450g-cans of peaches (4 cups of peach slices)

For the batter:

6 Tablespoons butter
1 cup gluten free flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk
ground cinnamon

Add the sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. 


Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and helps to bring out juices from the peaches. Remove from heat and set aside.

If you use canned peaches, you need a kg can, fruit and juice.  

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.

In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Stir in the milk, just until combined. The batter will be thin, like single cream.

Pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer.

Spoon the peaches and juice (or canned peaches, if using) over the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 38-40 minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
