Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to 300F (150C), ensuring a precise and consistent heat for the cobbler’s delicate baking process.
- Create a smooth, silky batter by whisking together sugar, self-rising flour, and milk until no lumps remain, developing a velvety texture.
- Grease a baking dish thoroughly, then gently pour the prepared batter, creating an even base for the fruit layer.
- Carefully distribute the drained peaches across the surface of the batter, allowing them to nestle naturally without disturbing the underlying mixture.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven, allowing the cobbler to transform for approximately 35 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Midway through baking, delicately sprinkle a harmonious blend of cinnamon and sugar over the cobbler, introducing a warm, aromatic dimension to the dessert.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest briefly, allowing the layers to settle and flavors to meld.
- Serve the cobbler while still warm, optionally crowned with a luxurious scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance its Southern charm.
Notes
- Choose ripe, juicy peaches from local Arkansas orchards for the most authentic and flavorful cobbler experience.
- Drain peaches thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making the batter soggy and compromising the cobbler’s texture.
- Experiment with adding a splash of bourbon or vanilla extract to the batter for a more complex, depth of flavor that complements the sweet peaches.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free blend and add baking powder to ensure proper rising.
