Ingredients:
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour*
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (15 oz) can of sliced peaches in syrup (undrained)
*If you don’t have self-rising flour, just whisk together: 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Place the stick of butter in a 9x9" baking dish and melt it in the oven.
- Meanwhile, stir together flour, sugar, and milk in a bowl (don’t overmix).
- Once the butter is melted, carefully pour the batter into the dish—but do not stir.
- Gently spoon the peaches (with syrup) evenly over the top. Again—don’t stir.
- Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before serving so it thickens slightly.
How to Serve It...
Classic & Cozy: Warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Light & Lovely: Topped with fresh whipped cream and a few mint leaves
Rustic & Sweet: With a dollop of Greek yogurt and drizzle of honey
Decadent: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar or chopped toasted pecans on top
Fun Ways to Bake It...
Mason Jars (8 oz, wide mouth): Bake smaller portions for individual servings—leave space at the top and place jars on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30–35 minutes and let cool slightly before handling.
Ramekins or Muffin Tins: Great for little servings at garden parties or brunch. Reduce baking time to 25–30 minutes and keep an eye on them.
Casserole or Cast Iron: Use whatever you have on hand! Cast iron gives a slightly crispier edge. A simple dish of cookies, bars, or a fruit cobbler served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream always brings smiles.
Fruit Alternatives...
This cobbler is the definition of flexible. Swap the peaches for:
- Fresh or frozen berries (blueberry, raspberry, mixed berry)
- Sliced apples with cinnamon (for fall!)
- Cherries, plums, or nectarines
- A mix of pineapple + mango for a tropical twist
Just be sure to add a little sugar or juice if the fruit isn’t sweetened.
Non-Alcoholic Pairing...
Iced Vanilla Chai Tea pairs beautifully with peach cobbler. The warm spice balances the sweet fruit and adds a cozy flavor layer.
Other great options:
- Sparkling lemonade with rosemary sprigs
- Peach or raspberry iced tea
- Iced coffee with sweet cream
- Cold brew hibiscus tea with a touch of honey
