Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C for a fan oven (170°C for a conventional oven).
Prepare the Fruit:
- Slice the peaches into chunky wedges and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the raspberries and toss them gently with the caster sugar until well combined. Transfer the fruit mixture into an ovenproof baking dish and set it aside.
Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In a large bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Add the cold butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms coarse crumbs with visible pea-sized bits of butter. Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together with a texture similar to soft cookie dough.
Assemble the Cobbler:
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the prepared fruit in the baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle the top with a little demerara sugar for added crunch and scatter over the flaked almonds.
Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling at the edges and the topping is golden and slightly crisp yet fluffy inside.
Notes
Peeling Peaches:
Peeling the peaches is optional—since the skin is soft and adds a bit of texture, you can leave it on. However, if you prefer a smoother bite, feel free to peel them before slicing. Adjusting the Milk:
The dough should be soft and cohesive but not overly dry. If the mixture feels too crumbly, simply add a small splash of extra milk to bring it together. Serving Suggestions:
This cobbler is delicious served on its own, but for an indulgent touch, pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm custard. Nutritional Information:
