Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 500 grams fruit of choice (peaches, berries, or apples, peeled and sliced if necessary)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while preheating. Keep an eye on the butter and remove the dish once melted.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth and lump-free, but do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter should float on top of the butter.
Arrange your fruit of choice evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the brown sugar and, if using, the ground cinnamon over the top.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter has risen around the fruit.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
