Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 quart peaches

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter in a baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix together self-rising flour, egg, and milk. Pour this mixture over the melted butter in the dish.
  3. Dissolve sugar in the peaches and add vanilla.
  4. Pour the peach mixture on top of the batter in the baking dish.
  5. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until lightly browned.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. To enhance the peach flavor, add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach mixture. This lazy cobbler is versatile; you can use other fruits too, like berries or apples.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this Lazy Peach Cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with American recipes like BBQ dishes or can be enjoyed as a delightful dessert after a family meal. For a fun twist, try it with a sprinkle of toasted pecans for added texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture. You may want to increase the sugar slightly, as frozen peaches can be less sweet than fresh ones.

What can I use if I don't have self-rising flour?

If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This substitution will work perfectly for this cobbler recipe.

How can I tell when the cobbler is done baking?

The cobbler is done when the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
