Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Sie können gefrorene oder abgetropfte Dosenpfirsiche verwenden, wenn frische Pfirsiche nicht verfügbar sind. Wenn Sie keine Buttermilch haben, mischen Sie normale Milch mit einem Teelöffel Zitronensaft als Ersatz. Wer den Geschmack verfeinern möchte, kann eine Prise Kardamom in die Füllung geben. Auch mit Nektarinen oder gemischtem Sommerobst schmeckt das Rezept wunderbar abwechslungsreich.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Probieren Sie dieses Rezept im Herbst mit einer Mischung aus Äpfeln und Pfirsichen oder variieren Sie die Gewürze mit etwas Ingwer. Wer einen intensiveren Geschmack liebt, kann einen Löffel Bourbon zur Pfirsichfüllung geben. Für eine glutenfreie Version wählen Sie eine glutenfreie Mehlmischung für den Teig.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie den Cobbler frisch aus dem Ofen, leicht abgekühlt, mit einer Kugel Vanilleeis oder einem Klecks frisch geschlagener Sahne. Besonders köstlich ist der Cobbler auch zum Frühstück am nächsten Tag – leicht erwärmt und mit etwas Joghurt.
