Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 dash salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 29 oz. can sliced peaches
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the stick of butter in a 9×13 inch baking pan while the oven is heating.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking pan.
- Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the batter. Optionally, drizzle about 1/4 cup of the syrup from the peaches over the top.
- Do not stir. Let the batter rise to the top as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve warm, with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, such as Blue Bell, for a perfect finishing touch.
Tips:
- Fresh Peaches: If fresh peaches are in season, feel free to use them instead of canned. Simply peel, pit, and slice the peaches before arranging them on top of the batter.
- Variations: Experiment with different fruits, such as berries or apples, to create your own unique cobbler flavors. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth and spice.
- Storage: Store any leftover cobbler in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven before serving.

3. Can I reduce the amount of sugar?
You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences. Feel free to reduce the sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet cobbler.
4. Can I make this cobbler in advance?
