Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare Peaches: Score an X on the bottoms of peaches, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into an ice water bath to cool. Peel, slice, and toss peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Let mixture macerate for 5 minutes.
  2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir in milk and fold in melted butter to create a smooth batter.
  3. Assemble Cobbler: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the peach mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Spoon the batter over the peaches, covering them completely.
  4. Bake: Bake for about 35-40 minutes until the crust is a deep mahogany brown and juices are bubbling.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
