Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned peaches, drained Reserve a little juice if you like extra sauce.
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Self-rising flour
- 1 cup Milk, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- a pinch Salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional)
- to serve Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similarly sized ovenproof pan with a little butter or nonstick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and granulated sugar. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir with a whisk or wooden spoon until the batter is smooth and lump-free. If using salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, or lemon juice, stir them into the batter now.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Do not swirl or spread the batter; it’s fine for it to sit evenly in the pan.
- Spread the drained canned peaches evenly over the top of the batter. Press them gently so some peek into the batter but do not mix.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the batter (away from large peach pieces) comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving so the juices settle. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Use room-temperature milk for a smoother batter and even baking. Don’t overmix: stir until just combined to keep the batter tender.
