Peach Cobbler With A Wonderful Batter Topping
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar , plus 1 tablespoon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 3 large or 4 medium firm ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4inch-thick wedges
- 1/2 cup candied ginger, chopped in small pieces (optional)
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter in 11x7x2-inches; set in oven to melt.
- Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in small bowl. Add milk, orange zest and vanilla; whisk until just incorporated into dry ingredients.
- When butter has melted, remove pan from oven. Pour batter into pan over melted butter DO NOT STIR; then arrange peaches and ginger (if using) trying not to disturb the batter.
- Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake until batter browns, about 40 to 50 minutes.
- Serve warm with a dollop of unsweetened cream, ice cream or creme fraiche.
- Note: Although the original recipe is not calling for peeling the peaches, I quickly blanched and peeled them because after the cobbler is baked, most of the time the peel comes of any way.
