Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt margarine in an 8x8-inch pan.
- Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add milk, stirring until fairly smooth with small lumps.
- Spoon batter evenly over melted butter in the pan without stirring.
- Drain peach slices from the can and arrange them evenly over the batter. Drizzle the peach syrup over the top.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm topped with Dream Whip or whipped cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor twist, consider substituting the cling peaches with fresh or frozen blueberries or cherries. You can also use butter instead of margarine for a richer taste. Ensure the milk is at room temperature for better batter consistency. If you're short on time, using pre-sliced canned peaches can speed up the process. This dish is similar to American recipes like Butter Chewies for its comforting appeal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful cobbler warm for the best experience. It pairs beautifully with Dream Whip or whipped cream on top. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a light salad like Creamy Vegetable Salad to balance the sweetness. It also makes a fantastic dessert option for gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual servings for about 30-45 seconds, but the oven method retains the crispiness better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits in this cobbler?
Yes, you can substitute the peaches with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or even a mix of berries. Just ensure the fruits are well-drained if using canned or frozen to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
What if I don't have baking powder?
If you find yourself without baking powder, you can create a substitute using 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice for every teaspoon of baking powder required. This will help your cobbler rise.
Is it possible to make this gluten-free?
Definitely! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check if the blend contains xanthan gum, which helps with the texture. The baking times may vary slightly, so keep an eye on it while baking.
