March is my late father’s birthday month, and while he would eat cake, his favorite was always cobbler, and peach cobbler, more specifically. While March is just on the cusp of the start of peach season, this recipe is great with canned or frozen peaches as well, and incredibly easy as well. So, whatever you’re celebrating, there’s no excuse for not making this one!
Old School Southern Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
1 cup self-rising flour,
3/4 cup granulated sugar, (plus 2 additional tablespoons for topping)
1/2 cup butter, divided (and melted separately)
1 cup milk
1 (29 ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained
~or~
3 cups sliced fresh peaches
1 tsp lemon juice {Mix these together and set for 30 minutes}
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix self-rising flour, sugar, and milk together in a bowl until well combined with no lumps.
Pour melted butter into a 9×9 baking dish (or a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet). Pour flour-milk mixture over top.
Carefully pour peaches and syrup into the pan. Use a spatula to spread peaches evenly around the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust turns golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes or so before serving.
Always better than vanilla ice cream (isn’t everything?)
