Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen peaches
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar and ground cinnamon. Gently toss to coat the peaches evenly, allowing them to begin thawing slightly.
- Transfer the seasoned peaches to a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer. Let the peaches sit at room temperature while preparing the cobbler topping.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar until well combined.
- Gradually pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring continuously to create a smooth, slightly thick batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Carefully pour the batter over the peaches, ensuring it spreads evenly but do not stir. The batter will naturally rise and create a golden crust during baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The cobbler can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Use high-quality frozen peaches for the best flavor and texture. Thaw them slightly before cooking for more even distribution.
- Don't overmix the batter – a few lumps are perfectly fine and will help create a tender, fluffy topping.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the peach mixture.
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking to ensure an even, golden-brown crust.
- Let the cobbler rest for 15-20 minutes after baking. This helps the filling set and makes serving much easier.
- For a decadent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store any leftovers covered at room temperature, and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crisp texture of the topping.
