Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 quart sliced peaches

Instructions

  1. Combine melted butter, sugar, self-rising flour, and milk in a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and pour into a buttered casserole dish.
  3. Add sliced peaches on top without stirring.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until the cobbler is golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches in season instead of canned. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. For an added twist, try incorporating a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter for extra warmth. Make sure to blend the ingredients just until smooth to avoid overmixing.

Serving Suggestions

This peach cobbler is delightful served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Brandied Carrots for a comforting meal. For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle some caramel sauce over the cobbler before serving. Enjoy it as a dessert or a sweet breakfast treat with a cup of coffee.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, cover the cobbler with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to three days. For reheating, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain its delicious crust and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. This will help maintain the right consistency and prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery.

How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?

The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to ensure it doesn't overbake.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cobbler in advance and store it unbaked in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Just allow it to come to room temperature before placing it in the oven, or bake straight from the fridge, adjusting the baking time as needed.
