Fresh Peach Cobbler in 65 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Score a small 'X' on the bottom of each peach. Drop them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to remove skins.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to create a natural syrup.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Stir in the milk and melted butter until the batter is smooth and just combined; do not overmix.
5. Pour the peach mixture into a prepared 9x9 inch baking dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
6. Spoon the batter evenly over the top of the peaches.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40–45 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the topping is a deep mahogany-colored glow.
