Make the batter – In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth.
Assemble the cobbler – Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish (do not stir). Spoon peaches and syrup over the batter, spreading them out. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
Bake – Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. The batter will rise up around the peaches while baking.Baking dishBatter bowl
Serve warm – Enjoy as-is, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate comfort dessert.
