Super Easy Old-fashioned Peach Cobbler

Submitted by HBHW reader SK

Ingredients:

*1 cup flour (self rising)

*1 cup sugar

*1 cup milk
(I have used whole milk, powdered milk, 2% and they all taste equallly good.)

*1 stick margarine

*1 “large” can of sliced peaches, you need the sliced ones, not peach halves. If you have peach halves you’ll need to cut the halves in half. (i think it’s 24 ounces, not sure…. there’s 2 sizes you can get)

I use a 9×9 square baking pan for this, you can adjust for more ingrediants if your pan is larger, or for a larger cobbler. Just remember it’s equal parts flour, sugar, and milk.

Instructions:

*preheat oven to 350F

*mix the flour, sugar, and milk then set aside.

* melt the butter, then pour into the pan

* tilt the pan till it’s evenly coated with the margarine

* pour in peaches at the center of pan, and try to distribute the peaches evenly. yes you need all the juice in the can. don’t drain it.

* now, pour the batter in at the center. the batter will even out when you cook this, and yes, it’ll be enough, though it may not look like it.

Now place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. the top should be golden brown when the cobbler is done.

It’s important to keep the pan level as you add ingrediants, and when you put it in the oven.

I love this cobbler, it is almost fool proof. I’m not sure how anyone could mess it up. stick to the recipe, don’t alter anything, If you do it exactly like this, you will be rewarded with a great desert. My grand mother was the best cook, and yet she loved my cobbler, and asked me to make it for her more than once.

Peach Cobbler

This peach cobbler recipe comes from HBHW reader Neilly P. and has been in her family for a long time. Her Grandmother has made as a quick, easy and satisfying dessert. It is especially good in the winter!

  • 1 lg. can sliced peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1 stick of margarine
  • 1 cup self rising flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk

In a 9×13 casserole dish, melt margarine in hot oven (350 degrees). Be sure to let margarine melt completely until nice and bubbly in dish. While margarine melts, place the flour and sugar into a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until there are no large lumps left. Add the milk and mix until no longer lumpy. This can be done by hand with a spoon or fork but a hand mixer works much faster.

After the margarine is completely melted, remove dish from oven and pour peaches and syrup into hot margarine and gently mix peaches, syrup and margarine together so that all well mixed. On top of the peaches mixture, pour the milk mixture over the peaches.

Place the dish back into the oven and cook uncovered for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Check after 15 minutes to see if the crust has started to brown. Keep a close eye on it, if it has started to brown check it every 5 minutes afterward to make sure it does not get too brown. When ready, the top crust will appear a golden brown.

A quick note about the peaches in heavy syrup…I have tried the lower sugar types but the heavy syrup provides a much better flavor.

This dessert has been a favorite of my entire family for many, many years. I hope that others like it as well. I cook this dessert when I am crunched for time and need something nice to take to a church function or just as a quick dessert when we are all feel a need for something sweet and yummy!
