For the **Cobbler Topping**:
– **1 cup all-purpose flour**
– **1/4 cup granulated sugar**
– **2 teaspoons baking powder**
– **1/4 teaspoon salt**
– **1/2 cup unsalted butter** (cold, cut into small cubes)
– **1/2 cup milk** (whole or 2% preferred)
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract**
**Optional Additions:**
– **1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg** (for added warmth)
– **1 tablespoon brown sugar** (for a caramelized top)
– **1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar** (for sprinkling on top before baking)
– **1/2 teaspoon almond extract** (for a nutty undertone)
– **Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream** (for serving)
**Tips for Success:**
1. **Use ripe peaches**: Fresh, ripe peaches will make the filling naturally sweet and flavorful. If using frozen peaches, make sure they’re well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
2. **Don’t overmix the topping**: When making the biscuit topping, mix just until the ingredients come together. Overworking the dough can lead to a dense topping instead of a light, fluffy one.
3. **Season the fruit well**: Don’t skimp on sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in the peach filling. These ingredients help balance the natural acidity of the peaches and create a well-rounded flavor.
4. **Allow it to rest**: Let the cobbler cool slightly after baking. This helps the filling set, making it easier to serve.
5. **Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream**: Peach cobbler is best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, which enhances the dessert’s richness and texture.
