Servings: persons

1
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Put butter in 11x7x2-inches; set in oven to melt.
2
Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in small bowl. Add milk, orange zest and vanilla; whisk until just incorporated into dry ingredients.
3
When butter has melted, remove pan from oven. Pour batter into pan over melted butter DO NOT STIR; then arrange peaches and ginger (if using) trying not to disturb the batter.
4
Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake until batter browns, about 40 to 50 minutes.
5
Serve warm with a dollop of unsweetened cream, ice cream or creme fraiche.
6
Note: Although the original recipe is not calling for peeling the peaches, I quickly blanched and peeled them because after the cobbler is baked, most of the time the peel comes of any way.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
