Peach Cobbler Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can of peaches, drained and juice reserved
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: In a 9×9-inch baking dish, pour the melted butter, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly to create a rich base layer.
- Mix Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using) until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
- Combine Layers: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, but do not stir or mix, allowing the butter to create a delicious crust as it bakes.
- Add Peaches: Spoon the drained peaches evenly over the top of the batter, distributing the fruit so each serving will have a good amount of peaches.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and for easier serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
- If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the sugar slightly.
- Reserve the peach juice for smoothies or as a syrup drizzle over the served cobbler.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic dessert experience.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger dish if needed.
