Description
Experience true Southern comfort with this incredibly simple peach cobbler that magically layers itself as it bakes. With a buttery, golden crust and tender fruit, it is the perfect low-effort dessert for any weeknight or family gathering.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 can (29 oz) sliced peaches in heavy syrup
- Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish, letting it melt in the oven as it preheats.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until the batter is smooth and free of large lumps.
- Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and pour the batter directly over the melted butter without stirring.
- Spoon the peaches and their syrup evenly over the batter layer; do not stir the mixture.
- Sprinkle with optional cinnamon and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
- Let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the syrup to thicken.
Notes
Allowing the dish to rest after baking is crucial for the syrup to set, otherwise the cobbler may be too runny when served. If you decide to use fresh peaches, remember to toss them with sugar and a little water to create the syrup that helps the batter rise and form the signature crust.
