Ingredients

• 120 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 240 milliliters buttermilk
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 500 grams fruit of choice (peaches, berries, or apples, peeled and sliced if necessary)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while preheating. Keep an eye on the butter and remove the dish once melted.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 4

Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth and lump-free, but do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter should float on top of the butter.

Step 6

Arrange your fruit of choice evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the brown sugar and, if using, the ground cinnamon over the top.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter has risen around the fruit.

Step 8

Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
