Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a cake pan.
- In a bowl, mix the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk. Add this mixture to the melted butter.
- Pour peaches into the mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider using canned cherries or blueberries instead of peaches. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can substitute regular flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Ensure the butter is melted but not browned to avoid a burnt taste. This cobbler is quite versatile, perfect for serving alongside Easy Fruit Dip for a delightful snack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious contrast. It pairs beautifully with rich desserts like Chocolate Trifle(Death By Chocolate). For a more wholesome touch, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before baking. This dish also makes a great breakfast option when paired with coffee.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the cobbler to cool completely before covering it with plastic wrap or transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, ensuring the topping stays crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches for this recipe. Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches, and they should work well. You may need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches.

If you need a dairy-free option, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine. Just ensure that the substitute is melted before mixing it with the flour and sugar.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
