Preheat & Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter and pour it evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish. (Do not grease or stir!) 🧈
Whisk the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 1 cup milk and whisk gently just until smooth. 🥛🥣
Pour Batter over Butter: Carefully pour the batter straight over the melted butter in the baking dish. DO NOT STIR! 🛑
Prep the Peaches: In a separate bowl or small saucepan, combine 2 cans of sliced peaches with their syrup, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Warm slightly on the stove or gently mix so the sugar dissolves. 🍑🪵
Add Peaches to Dish: Spoon the peach slices and syrup gently over the top of the batter layer. DO NOT STIR! 🛑
Bake to Magic Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the batter has risen to the top and turned a deep golden brown, and the peach juice is thick and bubbly! ⏲️
Cool & Serve Warm: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the syrup to thicken. Scoop warm cobbler into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream! 🍨🍽️✨
