The Lady and Sons Peach Cobbler
By GratefulSea
I used fresh peaches, and only about a third, maybe half, of the syrup
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (28-ounce) can sliced peaches in heavy syrup, un-drained (use fresh peaches if available; see note*)
- Cinnamon, for sprinkling, optional
- Vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream, for serving
- NOTE: I have substituted canned unsweetened pie fillings of both cherry and strawberry to vary the cobbler. I add a bit of nutmeg when using cherry to the topping. Every one of these have turned out awesome!
