Ingredients
  • 2 lbs fresh blueberries and peaches, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • vanilla ice cream, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place blueberries and peaches in a 8x8-inch baking pan and pat them in a roughly even layer. Using a zester, finely zest the lemon evenly over the peaches and then squeeze the lemon juice evenly over the peaches. Make sure to catch any seeds before they plummet into the baking dish and get lost among the peaches.
  2. In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter and ¾ cup sugar on medium speed until sandy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and beat again for another 30 seconds, until all the flour is incorporated and the mixture is evenly crumbly. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the milk. Increase the speed to medium and beat until lightly fluffy, about 2 minutes more.
  3. Plop the batter in large blobs over the peaches. With an offset spatula or small knife, carefully spread the batter evenly over the fruit so it's no more than about ½-inch thick in any place.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup sugar over the batter. Then drizzle the hot water evenly over the sugar to melt the sugar into the topping.
  5. Place the baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until the top is cracked and golden brown. You'll want to start checking it at 60 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the topping should come out dry - just be sure to check it in a few places.
  6. Let the cobbler sit in the baking dish on a wire rack for at least a half hour. Scoop the warm peach cobbler into big bowls and top with vanilla ice cream.
