My Mother’s Best Peach Cobbler Recipe

My mother’s peach cobbler recipe is one of my favorite desserts. Actually, it’s also my favorite breakfast. I have even been known to eat it for lunch.

I guess just about everyone believes their mother is the best cook, but mine really is the best. Her peach cobbler simply can’t be beat. I have sampled peach cobbler in restaurants in a few countries, and I have never, ever found one as good as my own mother’s cobbler. Every time I order it, I wait in great anticipation, hoping for a delicious cobbler, only to be disappointed. So, I ask myself, why bother? I need to just go home and make my own.

This is one of the easiest recipes you will ever make!

1 Cup Milk
1 Cup Self Rising Flour

My favorite brand of canned peaches to use in this recipe is Del Monte sliced Freestone peaches in heavy syrup..

Substitutions and Variations

Note: One previous commenter who didn’t have self-rising flour substituted all-purpose flour, 1½ tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp of salt, and it worked out well. So if you find yourself without self-rising flour, try the baking powder substitute.

Other commenters have recommended eating this cobbler hot out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and I have to say, I couldn’t agree more!
