Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! If using fresh peaches, peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches. You can add a bit of sugar to the sliced peaches to enhance their sweetness, especially if they are not fully ripe. Just be sure to include the juice for the batter.
How do I know when the cobbler is done?
If you notice that the top is browning too quickly, you can loosely cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning while the center continues to cook.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes! You can substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum. This will help achieve a similar texture and rise. Just ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. Enjoy the same delicious flavor without the gluten!
