Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Melt 1 stick of butter in a deep casserole dish in the oven.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, self-rising flour, and milk to make a batter.
- Pour the batter into the hot melted butter in the casserole dish.
- Spoon the peaches evenly over the batter.
- Pour the peach juice gently over the peaches.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until the top is golden brown.
- Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, or both over the cobbler before baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder. Fresh peaches work best, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained beforehand. For a twist, try incorporating some cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Absolutely! This cobbler recipe is versatile, and you can substitute peaches with other fruits like blueberries, blackberries, or apples. Just keep in mind that the baking time may vary based on the fruit’s moisture content.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and assemble the cobbler the day before. Just cover it and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the preheated oven.
What should I do if my cobbler is too runny?
If your cobbler turns out too runny, it may be due to overly juicy peaches. You can thicken the filling by mixing a tablespoon of cornstarch with the peaches before adding them to the batter. Alternatively, bake it a bit longer to help evaporate some of the excess moisture.
