π©βπ³ Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

- Make the topping: In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and melted butter (and vanilla if using) and stir until smooth.
- Pour topping over peaches: Donβt stir β the batter will naturally rise and cover the fruit as it bakes.

π‘ Tips for the Perfect Peach Cobbler
- Use ripe peaches: Theyβre naturally sweet and juicy, enhancing the flavor of the cobbler.
- Donβt overmix the topping: A light pour creates a tender, fluffy crust.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the peaches first β add less sugar if theyβre very sweet.
- Let it rest: Allowing the cobbler to sit for 10β15 minutes helps the filling thicken slightly.
