1cupmilk
¾cupsugargranulated
1teaspoonvanilla extract
½cupbuttermelted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the butter in the baking dish and then place the dish in the oven to melt the butter while the oven is preheating.
Remove the melted butter from the oven after a few minutes and set it aside.
To drain canned or jarred peaches easily, place a colander in the sink and pour them into the colander after opening them.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ingredients for the peach filling: peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Add the cornstarch to the cold water and stir until smooth.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the peach mixture.
Stir the peach mixture to combine the ingredients and then set aside.
In a second medium-sized bowl, whisk the ingredients for the cobbler batter: Bisquick, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
Pour the Bisquick mixture over the melted butter in the baking pan.
Then, pour the peaches into the Bisquick mixture (the dough will rise around the peaches as it bakes).
Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes. Watch the cobbler while baking, and bake until the cobbler dough is golden brown.
To test whether the cobbler is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the dough. If it comes out clean, it is done. This is important because you don't want the dough under the top crust to still be raw.
Serve this easy Southern peach cobbler recipe warm, and enjoy!
