Peach Cobbler

1/2 cup butter
1 cup self-rising flour
3 cups peaches
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Melt butter in 2 Qt. glass baking dish. In separate bowl mix together flour, sugar and milk. Pour on top of butter *Do Not Stir.
Add cinnamon to peaches, spoon over batter. *Do Not Stir. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until brown.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This is from a cookbook I bought in Tennessee years ago ... and I love it. You can use any fruit you want with it, which is a plus.

ohiomom, your cobbler recipe sounds wonderful. Could I substitute white whole wheat flour for the self-rising?

Peach Crisp vs Peach Cobbler
Q
Comments (16)
beebemae, yes, very old thread but always relevant. I don’t have a recipe for a crisp/cobbler combo. They do have different styles of toppings with one some type of dough (cobbler), and the crisp topping usually consists of a buttery/crispy base of flour, sugar, butter, oats and spices. This Apple Crisp recipe is followed with a peach version. I’ve used this crisp topping for years and think it’s especially good. Apple Crisp (Serves 8-10) 7-8 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into large chunks 1 cup dried cranberries (optional, but good!) 2 T. lemon juice 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar (to taste) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup plus 2 T. light brown sugar, packed 3/4 cup old fashioned oats 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 10 T. cold butter, diced Optional: 1 cup pecans (or walnuts), lightly toasted and coarsely chopped Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, toss the apples, lemon juice and sugar until mixture is well combined. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. With food processor or pastry blender, cut in/pulse the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in nuts. Spread the apple mixture in greased baking dish. The fruit should be about 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep. Sprinkle the topping evenly over apples. Bake the crisp for about 55 minutes or until bubbling and top is golden. Variation: For PEACH CRISP, use about 4 lbs. (7 or 8 large), peeled peaches cut into 1/2-inch wedges, 2 T. flour, 2 T. lemon juice and 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar. Topping ingredients are the same as for Apple Crisp. Spread peach mixture in greased baking dish (I use an oval dish that’s approximately 10 ½ x 8 ½ x 3 - fruit should be 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep). Sprinkle the topping evenly on top. Bake at 375 for about 45-55 minutes or until bubbling and top is golden. Note: Adding about a pint of fresh blueberries, raspberries, boysenberries or blackberries with the peaches is also good.

Sally, this is the recipe I use for pie crust and cobbler crust. It is easy and always turns out good. Never Fail Flaky pie crust 2 c. flour , 1 T. milk 1 t. salt , 1/4 c. boiling water 3/4 c. crisco (I use butter flavor crisco) Blend flour, salt and crisco together with pastry blender. Add milk and water and roll in ball. Divide in half and roll out between two sheets of wax paper and ease into two pie pans. If making cobbler I freeze one ball in the freezer until needed and roll the other out to put on the top of the fruit. For the cobbler, peal and slice 4 c. ripe peaches add 3/4 c. sugar and 2 T. flour Put in 8X8 pan and cover with crust. Bake at 350 for 45 min. You can weave top in strips or top with whole crust. I usually sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar. You can put a crust on the bottom and one on the top if you want. If you like the fruit mixture thicker add a little more flour. Hope this helps and sorry I have been so slow responding. I have been at the dentist today!

Peach Cobbler Dump Cake ?
Q
Comments (14)
Kaye, I was too lazy to re type so I copy and pasted from the other post! lol when I make my dump cakes I leave out the butter. Use a cake mix that has NO PUDDING in the mix. Duncan Hines is what I use. I've never made it with peaches, but I make it all the time with pineapple OR mixed fruit. I find that it always works out best by Mix the can of fruit into the cake mix. Pour in to a 9X13 pan and bake ... what ever the box says.. I bake 325 for about an hour. I would think that the smaller the peach bits, the better it would mixl up. I add a can of pineapple to the mix or a can of mixed fruit. I've tried low sugar cherry pie, but it works best when you mix the cake mix with a white soda, pour 3/4 of that into the cake pan, spoon the cherry pie mix over the top and then spoon the remaining cake mix over that and bake. You could use apple pie filling too... with spice cake, or cinnamon cake Pour some of the Costco 3 berry mix into a 9 X 13 cake pan. Add a 12 oz can of white pop to cake mix, stir and then pour over top of berries. Bake for an hour or so and makes a great cobbler >> . . . . I bet you could put the peaches on the bottom, then add clear soda to cake mix... (fresca works well) stir and pour over peaches, cook for about an hour or a little less. that sounds good!

I dont see why not ... correct me if I am wrong :) but I think you just add like a 1/2 tsp. of baking powder.

ovenbird, self-rising flour also contains leavening, i.e. baking powder, and salt.

My substitution chart says 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt per cup of all purpose flour, so I'd sub the whole wheat pastry flour minus 2 teaspoons and add the baking powder and salt.

LOVE peach cobbler, I don't care for pie crust but I like the cobbler crusts, go figure...

Thanks Annie

I just found this online: 1 cup all purpose flour, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt is the published substitute to use for all self-rising flour. However, not all flour used is alike.

Sure Shaun, why not..
I made a really good "cobbler"..
I made a pie filling..I dunno..just stuff..
Sliced peaches, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and butter pats oh and a glug of Jim Beam Whiskey.
In a 9x13 pan. Then I took white bread, and sliced into fingers. Layed those on top of the filling, and poured the whole thing with a bit of custardy stuff..some milk(1/2 c), beaten egg and a bit more flour and cinnamon. Then sprinkled the whole lot with cinnamon sugar and baked till bread was toasted and peaches were bubbling..

I love cobblers and here is my tried and true recipe. I use thawed frozen fruit - works fantastic every time. This is an old James Beard recipe. I often make a blackberry cobbler, but last weekend used 1/2 peaches, 1/2 blackberries (thawed, frozen). All peaches would be fine.

Put frozen fruit of your choice in a baking dish - I usually use two bags of frozen fruit - about 2 ppounds? Sprinkle with 1 TBSP sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp each ground nutmeg & cinnamon. Set aside to thaw - this can take a while, so do it early.

In a small bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 TBSP baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 3 TBSP sugar. Stir dry ingredients together. Melt 1 stick unsalted butter (I use land 'o lakes). Pour butter and ~ 1/3 cup heavy cream (can use milk or buttermilk) into dry ingredients and stir together with a fork until incorporated. Plop pieces of dough topping over the thawed fruit. Sprinkle top with 1-2 tsp of sugar, if desired. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes until bubbley and the bisquit topping is lightly browned and thoroughly cooked. Delicious with ice cream or whipped heavy cream.
