Description
This classic peach cobbler is the ultimate vintage comfort dessert, requiring just a few pantry staples and five minutes of prep time. It features a golden, buttery crust with a gooey, caramelized fruit center that is best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 29-ounce can sliced peaches in heavy syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven until melted.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Stir the vanilla extract into the milk, then pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish; do not stir.
- Top with the entire can of peaches and their syrup, gently distributing the slices without stirring.
- Bake for 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and risen.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving to allow the syrup to set.
Notes
For the best results, use a glass baking dish so you can visually confirm the crust has achieved a beautiful golden brown color on the bottom. Avoid overworking the batter when mixing; leaving small lumps helps create a rustic texture. Ensure the peaches are packed in heavy syrup, as this provides the essential liquid needed to create the signature gooey base.
