Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the butter and pour it into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan or glass dish.
- Mix sugar, self-rising flour, and milk well.
- Pour the mixture into the melted butter in the dish.
- Spoon the sliced or halved peaches evenly over the mixture.
- Drizzle the remaining syrup from the peaches over the mixture; do not stir.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. You can substitute the self-rising flour with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder for a similar effect. If you don't have fresh peaches, canned or frozen peaches work well too. This recipe is a breeze, much like making Stir In Drop Sugar Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Lazy Girl Peach Cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of Low Fat Ice Cream for a delicious contrast. This dessert pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor. It also makes a great brunch dish alongside coffee or tea. For a fun twist, try serving it with Vanilla Wafer Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cobbler to cool completely before storing it. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for 30-45 seconds until warm. For a crispy topping, reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can be sliced and used in this recipe. Just make sure to peel and slice them before adding to the batter. Using fresh peaches may require a bit more sugar if they're not as sweet as canned peaches. Enjoy the fresh flavor!
What can I do if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own. For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This substitution will give you the same rise and texture needed for the cobbler.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of Lazy Girl Peach Cobbler, substitute the self-rising flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains xanthan gum for the best results. The cobbler will still turn out delicious and satisfying!
