How to Make Peach and Raspberry Cobbler
Ingredients:
- 5 peaches (cut into wedges)
- 125 g fresh raspberries
- 75 g caster sugar
- 90 g cold butter (salted or unsalted)
- 90 g caster sugar
- 140 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons milk (see notes)
- 2 tablespoons flaked almonds
- Zest of 1 lemon
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 160°C for a fan oven (170°C for a conventional oven).
Prepare the Fruit:
Cut the peaches into chunky slices and place them in a bowl. Add the raspberries and toss with the caster sugar. Transfer the fruit mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and set aside.
Make the Cobbler Topping:
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Using your fingers, rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter. Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together with a texture similar to soft cookie dough.
Assemble the Cobbler:
Spoon the cobbler topping over the fruit in the baking dish. Sprinkle with demerara sugar (optional) and the flaked almonds.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is juicy and bubbling around the edges and the cobbler topping is golden and fluffy.
How to Serve Peach and Raspberry Cobbler
Serve the cobbler warm, straight from the oven. It’s delicious on its own, but you can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra flavor.
How to Store Peach and Raspberry Cobbler
If you have leftover cobbler, let it cool completely before storing it. Place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave when you want to enjoy it again.
