Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift flour, salt, and baking powder; mix with 1 cup sugar. Slowly stir in milk to make batter.
- Melt butter in an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan.
- Pour batter over melted butter; do not stir.
- Mix the peaches and 1 cup sugar thoroughly and carefully spoon them over the batter.
- Bake for 1 hour at 350°F.
- Serve hot or cold with ice cream if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar, and add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If fresh peaches are not available, canned peaches can be a good substitute; just make sure to drain them well. Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the batter for a crispy edge, reminiscent of desserts like Sinful French Silk Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a light salad for a balanced meal. For a cozy gathering, consider serving it alongside Bobbie'S Basic Yellow Cake(2 Layers) for a comforting dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This maintains the crispness of the topping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches in this recipe. Be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the cobbler to avoid excess moisture, which can affect the texture of your dessert.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. A thinner batter will help it spread more evenly over the melted butter.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
