Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 500 g peaches (fresh or frozen)
- 200 g raspberries
- 200 g plain flour
- 100 g caster sugar
- 180 ml buttermilk
- 75 g unsalted butter
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Demerara sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 180°C (350°F) and prepare a large baking dish with a light butter coating. Gently combine 500g sliced peaches and 200g raspberries with 2 tablespoons caster sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon cornflour, ensuring your fruit is evenly coated and glistening.
- Sift 200g plain flour into a medium mixing bowl. Add 100g caster sugar, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and a small pinch of salt. Incorporate 75g cold unsalted butter cubes, working them through your flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Pour 180ml buttermilk into your crumbly flour mixture. Stir gently until the batter just comes together, being careful not to overmix. Your goal is a soft, slightly lumpy texture that will create tender cobbler topping.
- Scatter soft dollops of batter across your fruit-filled baking dish, creating rustic, uneven coverage. Generously sprinkle Demerara sugar over the top, which will caramelize and create a beautiful golden crust.
- Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Watch for a golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit edges, indicating the dessert is perfectly cooked and ready to be enjoyed.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes. This helps the filling set and prevents burning your mouth. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or softly whipped cream.
Notes
- Pick ripe, fragrant peaches and fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture in your cobbler.
- Let the fruit mixture sit for 10 minutes before adding the topping to help release natural juices and intensify the taste.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend.
- Don’t overmix the topping batter, as this can make the cobbler tough instead of tender and light.
