Good 'n' Gooey Peach Cobbler

Filling
12 to 14 ripe peaches, peeled, sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Batter
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together all the filling ingredients. Set the filling aside to draw out the juices. While the filling sits, melt the butter in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, either in the oven or on the stove.

In another bowl, make the batter. Stir together flour, sugar, and baking powder, and add the milk. Mix until lightly blended. Spoon the mixture evenly over the melted butter. Don't stir it
