PEACH COBBLER

A delicious dessert I saw in the USA for the first time. When I tasted it, it was something great. Let’s make it today.

Ingredients:

4 or 5 fresh peaches, depending on their size

4 oz butter

4 oz flour

8 oz sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

A pinch of salt

1 cup of milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or imitation vanilla

½ teaspoon cinnamon

First we will prepare the peaches. Wash them and then peel them. Cut them in little pieces. We also have to melt the butter. Do it the way you usually do it. But be careful. Melt the butter always at very low temperature. Otherwise it could get burned. And that is not good.

Once we have the butter melted, we will put it on an oven tray. Then, in a bowl, mix the flour, the baking powder, the salt and all the sugar except a couple of tablespoons that we will reserve. Then we will add the vanilla and the milk. Mix well and put the contents of the bowl in the tray with the butter. Put the pieces of peach on top of it. Add the cinnamon and the rest of the sugar. But now do not mix, do not stir. Take it to a preheated oven to 400ºF and bake it for about 25 minutes.

Once it is done, let it cool for a while but serve it when it is still a bit warm. You can serve it with some cream. But make sure the cream is not too cold. Enjoy!
