Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 29 oz canned sliced peaches in heavy syrup (1 large can, undrained)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (Optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt completely.
- Prepare Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and whole milk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Combine Batter and Butter: Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven once the butter has melted. Pour the prepared batter directly over the melted butter without stirring, allowing the butter to seep through as it bakes.
- Add Peaches: Spoon the undrained canned peaches evenly over the batter, again without stirring. The batter will rise around the peaches during baking, creating a tender crust.
- Optional Cinnamon Topping: If desired, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the top of the peaches for added warmth and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping becomes golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. This resting time allows the sauce to thicken and set before serving.
Notes
- Use self-rising flour to ensure the batter rises properly and creates a light crust.
- Do not stir the batter and peaches after combining to achieve the correct texture and layering effect.
- If fresh peaches are available, you can substitute canned peaches, but adjust cooking time as needed.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
