Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season; they can enhance the overall taste of the cobbler. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt. Adding a dash of cinnamon can elevate the flavors further. Experiment with different fruits too, such as berries, for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Cherry Congealed Salad for a delightful contrast. Enjoy it as a dessert after a hearty meal or as a sweet afternoon snack with coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or warm it in the oven at 350°F until heated through. This ensures the cobbler maintains its texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. This will help maintain the desired texture and prevent the dish from becoming too soggy.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains a leavening agent, or you can mix gluten-free flour with baking powder and salt to achieve similar results.
What can I do if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can easily make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. This will give you the same effect as using self-rising flour in your peach cobbler.
