Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt oleo in a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.
- Mix self-rising flour, sugar, and milk well.
- Pour the batter mixture over the melted oleo in the pan.
- Add the canned sliced peaches on top.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes or until brown on top.
- Serve hot with ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo. If self-rising flour is not available, you can make your own by adding 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt to all-purpose flour. Make sure to mix the batter gently to avoid overworking it, which can lead to a denser cobbler. You can also experiment with adding cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Bubie Keepsake Ice Cream Pie for a delightful dessert spread. You can also add a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture. Enjoy it as a sweet breakfast treat or a comforting after-dinner dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for 30-45 seconds. Serve it warm for the best flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Slice about 4-5 medium peaches and toss them with a bit of sugar to enhance their sweetness. Add them on top of the batter just like you would with canned peaches. Fresh peaches may take slightly longer to cook, so keep an eye on the cobbler while baking.
What can I do if my cobbler is too runny?
If your cobbler turns out too runny, it could be due to excess liquid from the peaches. To remedy this, you can try adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the peach mixture before baking, which will help thicken the juices. Consider baking it a bit longer, checking for a bubbly, golden top to ensure it's set.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and peaches ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just assemble them in the baking dish right before you're ready to bake. This makes it a convenient dessert option for gatherings or potlucks!
