Just got finished eating a bowl of this with ice cream - so good!!! Watch the video and do it the same way, you won't be disappointed. They only thing I changed was I used all purpose flour with 2 1/2 tsp. of baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt instead of the self-rising flour. Turned out beautifully - peaches on the bottom, light and fluffy topping. Thank you!

My cobbler is in the oven, cooking away, and looks perfect...if there was a such thing. I think this recipe is great except for pouring the flour mixture in before the peach mixture off the stovetop. I say this because I had to mix it all together with a spoon in too one mixture. The recipe said not to do that but my cobbler wouldn’t have been mixed thoroughly. Thanks Paula Deen!!! I’ll take a finished photo as soon as it gets done and post it too!

Great

Excellent I use a large aluminum pans, add extra sugar in peaches and brown sugar , lemon flavor and vanilla flavor I double the flour, sugar and milk ingredients because of larger pan..

September 27, 2019

Like peaches on a large noodle. Followed recipient to the letter and it all went to feed the trash can. Dough didn’t rise. I tased what was underneath and it tasted like flour and sugar. Guess I should have been less trusting. What a waste of food.

I truly believe this is what heaven tastes like. I did add nutmeg and cinnamon mix to the crust and peaches. I feel all the ingredients are totally balanced. I see another review that confused me. This is a really great basis and you can go wild from here especially the assembly of the cobbler is genus. I loved it and its easy. plus can we say yes please to BUTTER! EEEOOOWWWW

It's very good if you do it right. ***Use SELF RISING FLOUR!!!! I didn't have enough milk, so subbed heavy cream, and I would personally double the peaches in this recipe. I used homegrown peaches-skin on. Served with Breyer's natural Vanilla-amazing. But, it is very good and very crowd pleasing. And EASYYYYYY

This cobbler was delicious. Took it to a family outing and there was not a crumb left. Topped it off with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream. So easy to make. This will be my go to cobbler from now.

I followed the recipe carefully, making sure I used self-rising flour and did not stir the batter after adding it to the pan. I baked the cobbler at 350 for 45 minutes. It had a nice golden color on the top but was more like a sponge than a crust. Maybe that was due to the teaspoon of baking powder which I added per Paula's video. Not what I had in mind, although it tasted great. What did I do wrong?

Can you use canned peaches in your peach cobbler?

The Deen Team

January 25, 2023

Yes here is her recipe using canned peaches:

INGREDIENTS

1⁄4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3⁄4 cup self-rising flour
3⁄4 cup milk
1 (28 ounce) can peach slices in heavy syrup, undrained (or use fresh if available, see note)
cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional, use only with peach or apple cobbler)

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place butter in oven in a 2-quart baking dish to melt.
  • Stir sugar and flour together and mix well. Slowly add milk and continue to stir to prevent the batter from lumping.
  • Being careful not to burn yourself, remove hot baking dish containing melted butter from oven; pour batter directly over butter in baking dish (DO NOT STIR).
  • Spoon fruit on top of batter, then gently pour syrup on top (DO NOT STIR). Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using. The most important part of this dish is not stirring the mixture.
  • Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Your batter will rise above your fruit, producing the most wonderful of crusts. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

Can I freeze the peach cobbler filling?

August 16, 2022

Yes it can be frozen for up to 3 months!

July 01, 2021
I noticed the video says 1 cup of water and the written recipe says 1/2 cup. Is his just personal preference for juiciness of cobbler?

July 02, 2021

At the end of the video, she says she didn't quite use a full cup and also that she prefers a juicier cobbler which is why she used more than the 1/2 cup the recipe calls for!

How much batter does this make?

June 23, 2021

It will make enough batter for 1 13x9 inch pan of peach cobbler, rising to the top of the pan during cooking.

June 23, 2021
Hey! Thanks for the quick response, but unfortunately I do not have a 13x9 pan. Only two 8x8's. Do you think that I could possibly divide the mix into two separate pans by any chance?

Can you use canned peaches for the cobbler? Would you drain them. Thanks

Can I use canned peaches for the Peach Cobbler?


The Deen Team

January 11, 2021

Yes, get the canned peaches in syrup and use the syrup instead of the sugar water! The batter will be gooier depending on how much liquid you use. Paula likes hers to be wetter and gooier, so she uses more syrup!

The batter will have risen, it will be a golden-brown color, bubbly, and it won't jiggle!
