Questions

What is Peach Cobbler?

A quintessential Southern summer dessert featuring juicy cinnamon-spiced peaches beneath a golden, buttery drop-biscuit crust. Uses fresh or canned peaches so it can be enjoyed year-round. This reference files it under Southern American dessert: made in the oven, rated easy and about 60 minutes start to finish.

What temperature do I cook Peach Cobbler at?

For Peach Cobbler, the oven is set to 375 F (about 190 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 45 minutes, in step 5.

Why does Peach Cobbler say not to overmix?

Step 3 reads: "Stir in 2/3 cup whole milk and 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter until just combined." Stirring develops gluten, and gluten makes quick batters tough and tunneled. Stop at step 3 while a few streaks of flour remain; they hydrate on their own.

Can I make Peach Cobbler dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Peach Cobbler is 2/3 cup whole milk, 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, 4 scoops vanilla ice cream. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the vanilla ice cream for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.
