Lazy Man’s Peach Cobbler (Print Version)
Tender peaches baked beneath a buttery crust for an effortless Southern-style sweet treat.
# Ingredients:
Batter
01 -
1 cup self-rising flour
02 -
1 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream or milk
Fruit
04 -
2 jars (20 ounces each) peaches in regular or light syrup, juice reserved
Fat
05 -
1/2 cup salted butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the salted butter in a 13×9-inch baking dish.
02 -
Reserve the juice from the peaches and transfer the fruit to a cutting board. Slice into 1/2-inch slices or bite-sized pieces.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and granulated sugar until well blended.
04 -
Add the heavy whipping cream to the dry mixture and combine until a batter forms. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, spreading slightly but without mixing.
05 -
Arrange the peach slices evenly over the batter. Drizzle 1/2 cup of the reserved peach juice on top.
06 -
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm with optional ice cream or whipped cream.
# Notes:
01 -
Using self-rising flour simplifies the leavening process, ensuring the cobbler rises properly without additional leavening agents.
02 -
Do not mix the batter and butter after pouring; the resulting layers create the characteristic cobbler texture.
