Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals until heated through.
- You can blanch your peaches to make peeling them easier.
- Cut your butter into small cubes, then chill it until ready to use. It makes cutting into the flour much easier and helps create the perfect texture.
- Your water should come to a full boil before you mix it into the cobbler topping.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh for best results. Old baking powder won't give your cobbler topping as much rise.
- Give your cobbler filling mixture at least 5 to 10 minutes before constructing the cobbler. This gives it time to macerate and begin creating that juicy filling.
- It's important to let your cobbler rest until it's warm and not hot before serving. This allows the filling to set up.
