Ingredients

  • 5 cups fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/8 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Combine peaches, Chinese five-spice powder, and lemon zest in a bowl.

Step 3
Stir sugar and water together in saucepan pan over medium heat until simmering, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in peach mixture; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4
Combine sugar and self-rising flour in a large bowl. Pour in milk; whisk to form a smooth batter.

Step 5
Pour melted butter into a Dutch oven. Pour batter over the melted butter.

Step 6
Gently place peaches and syrup on top of batter. As the cobbler bakes, they will sink down into the batter.

Step 7
Bake until syrup is bubbling and crust has risen and is golden brown, about 50 minutes.

Chef’s Note:

Canned peaches can be substituted for the fresh peaches in this recipe. If using canned peaches, use the syrup in the can instead of making one with sugar and water.
