Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the margarine or butter in a baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine the peaches and 1 3/4 cups of sugar, then pour over melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, remaining sugar, and milk to form a batter.

- Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm, preferably with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using ripe, juicy peaches and adjusting the sugar based on their sweetness. If you don't have fresh peaches, canned peaches can be used, but drain them well. For a twist, try adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. This cobbler pairs beautifully with Chocolate Frosting Or Fudge Sauce for an indulgent dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It’s perfect for summer gatherings or as a comforting dessert on a chilly evening. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Shelly'S Green Chili Cheese Grits for a delightful contrast.
