  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 1/2 cups berries or peaches

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Feel free to mix in a variety of fruits like berries or peaches for a twist, similar to the fruity dessert concept.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert. It pairs beautifully with Zucchini Bread With Apricots for a delightful brunch spread or enjoy it on its own as a comforting treat.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or place the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen berries or peaches. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the batter to prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery.

To make a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of self-rising flour. Ensure that the blend includes a leavening agent or add baking powder and salt as needed.

What other fruits work well in this recipe?

In addition to berries and peaches, you can experiment with apples, cherries, or even a mix of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango for a unique twist on this cobbler.
