Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Peach Cobbler.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 10x10-inch baking dish to ensure your delightful creation doesn’t stick.

   Set this sweet mixture aside to let the flavors mingle.

   In a larger bowl, cream together the remaining 1 cup of sugar and shortening until the texture is light and fluffy, reminiscent of a cloud.

5. Step 5

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. Step 6

   Gradually incorporate this dry blend into the shortening mixture, alternating with milk, mixing gently until just combined to maintain that airy texture.

7. Step 7

   Pour the biscuit batter into your prepared baking dish, creating a lovely base, and then layer the peach mixture on top, allowing the juices to seep into the batter.

8. Step 8

   For a finishing touch, melt butter in boiling water and pour this golden elixir over the peaches, enhancing their natural sweetness.
