Ingredients
Instructions
- Place a stick of butter in a Pyrex bowl and melt it in a 350°F oven.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, self-rising flour, and milk.
- Pour the melted butter into the mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using fresh or frozen berries instead of peaches for a different flavor profile. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. A pinch of cinnamon can also enhance the flavor of the peaches. This recipe is adaptable, allowing for various fruits to suit your taste, just like in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful contrast in temperature and texture. It pairs beautifully with 'Pink Stuff' for a colorful dessert spread. A drizzle of caramel sauce can also elevate the dish, making it perfect for gatherings or holiday celebrations.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can last up to 3 days in the fridge. When ready to enjoy, reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the whole dish in a 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit in this cobbler?
Absolutely! This cobbler recipe is versatile, and you can substitute the peaches with other fruits such as blueberries, cherries, or even apples. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose.
What can I do if the cobbler is too dry?
