Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the oleo in a long pan.
- Mix the self-rising flour, sugar, and sweet milk to make the batter.
- Pour the batter into the pan with the melted oleo.
- Place the heated and sweetened peaches on top of the batter, using a large spoon to add plenty of juice.
- Bake in a 400°F oven for approximately 40 minutes, optionally adding a little almond or vanilla flavoring.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using buttermilk instead of sweet milk, or add a dash of almond extract to the batter. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen or canned peaches work well too—just ensure they are drained and sweetened. For an extra crunch, sprinkle some oats or chopped nuts on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast to the sweet fruit. This cobbler pairs beautifully with breakfast dishes or as a satisfying dessert after a hearty meal. For a fun twist, try serving with a drizzle of Honey Fudge for added sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the whole dish in the oven at 350°F until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Absolutely! This cobbler is versatile and works well with berries, such as blueberries or raspberries. You can also mix fruits for a delightful flavor combination. Just adjust the sweetness based on the tartness of the fruit you choose.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
You can easily make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For every cup of self-rising flour needed, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
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 it contains xanthan gum or add it separately to mimic the texture of traditional flour.
