Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 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)

Directions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt completely.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk. Whisk until the batter is smooth.
3. Once the butter is melted, carefully remove the hot dish from the oven. Pour the prepared batter directly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
4. Spoon the undrained canned peaches evenly over the batter. Do not stir. The batter will rise up and around the peaches as it bakes.
5. If desired, sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top.
6. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
7. Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to set.

Tips to Make Paula Deen Peach Cobbler: The Ultimate Southern Dessert

1. Swap the Peaches: Don’t limit yourself! Try other fruits like blackberries or apricots.
2. Batter Consistency: Make sure your batter is smooth and pourable; lumpy batter is a no-no.

Variation

Want to make it vegan? Swap the butter for a plant-based alternative and use almond milk instead of whole milk. You can also try using fresh peaches in season for a bright and tangy take!

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Just make sure to slice and sweeten them a bit since canned peaches are usually in syrup.

Pop individual servings in the microwave for a quick reheat, or gently warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through.

Can this recipe be doubled?
You bet! Just adjust your baking dish size and keep an eye on the baking time.
