Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the bottom of a pan.
- Mix the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until well combined.
- Add the heavy syrup from the peach halves and stir.
- Gently fold in the peach halves into the mixture.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can create your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. This Lazy Man Cobbler is versatile; try using other fruits like blueberries or apples to switch it up. For an extra touch, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Lazy Man Cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs well with a drizzle of The Barn Doors Garlic Dressing on a side salad to balance the sweetness. This dessert can also be enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This cobbler is best enjoyed fresh but can still be delicious when reheated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches, and you may want to add a bit of sugar to the mixture to account for the lack of syrup. Fresh fruit will give a different texture but will be equally delicious in the cobbler.
What if I don't have butter?
If you don't have butter, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vegetable oil or coconut oil. This will still provide the necessary fat for the cobbler while keeping it moist. Just melt the oil before adding it to the pan.
Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, this Lazy Man Cobbler is a vegetarian recipe as it does not contain any meat or animal-derived ingredients apart from the optional vanilla. It's a simple and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by everyone!
