Ingredients​

• 150 g plain flour (1 cup)
• 110 g white sugar (½ cup)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 125 mL milk (½ cup)
• 3 cups sliced, peeled peaches (fresh or canned)

• 250 mL water (1 cup)
• 75 g white sugar (⅓ cup)
• 75 g brown sugar, packed (⅓ cup)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• Vanilla ice cream
• Custard

Instructions​

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (or 180°C fan-forced). Lightly grease a 20 cm square baking dish.
2. Make the batter:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon . Add the milk and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the peach slices.
3. Transfer to baking dish:
   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
4. Prepare the topping:
   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, white sugar, brown sugar, butter, and nutmeg. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugars are fully dissolved.
5. Assemble the cobbler:
   Carefully pour the hot topping mixture evenly over the peach batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
6. Bake:
   Place in the oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the topping comes out clean.
7. Serve:
   Let cool slightly. Serve warm or cold, with vanilla ice cream or custard if you like.
