Mama isn’t kidding when she says “fresh” peach cobbler…


This is one of my mother’s recipes and she took all of these photographs. I wasn’t even there for a bite of it! Mama has always had a way with peaches. In the future, I hope to show you her peach freezer jam and the historical peach crisp we make. She used to make this homemade sour dough bread and we’d eat it hot out of the oven with slices completely smothered in fresh peach freezer jam. Oh my lord, I miss living at home.

In the meantime, while I’m preparing my tutorial on peanut butter balls and finishing up my writing on my grandmother’s sweet potato pie, lets give you another of my mother’s summer classics : Fresh Peach Cobbler.

You’ll need: Lemon juice, self rising flour, sugar, cinnamon, milk, butter
(notice Mama uses the real stuff, unlike me!), and fresh peeled peaches.
There is a note on how to substitute canned at the bottom.
Preheat oven to 350. Place your stick of butter in the dish you are going to bake the cobbler in and stick that in the oven while it preheats so your butter can melt.

Pour lemon juice over the peaches. Stir to coat.

Pour sugar over peaches, stir. Microwave for one minute.
This helps the sugar to dissolve faster.

Mix together flour, cinnamon, and one cup of sugar.

Pour in milk and stir until blended.

Remove dish from oven and pour batter over melted butter. Pour peaches on top of batter.
DO NOT STIR.

DO NOT STIR.
I know you really want to…
Sprinkle a tablespoon or so of sugar over top. You can stir now – KIDDING!
DO NOT STIR!
Bake at 350 for 55 minutes, or until golden on the top.

Oh dear lord, I can smell it. My mother – who lives over half an hour away – made this cobbler and emailed me detailed photographs of every step.
If I didn’t have a food blog, that alone would be grounds for some sort of criminal charges.
Mamas are evil.

  1. Hi Christy. I seem to be in a pickle and I’m hopin you can help. As I’ve said before, I’m just gettin started on this cookin thing. But anywho, I’ve been cravin some cobbler and I’ve got everything to do it EXCEPT the dish. Right now all I have is a convection oven and a round casserole dish (we’re movin soon and I gonna stock it with all kinds of kitchen gadgets). My oven is big enough for 2 loaf pans at a time (I’ve already made banana bread and blueberry bread) or my casserole (made an apple crisp). I have to use shorter temporary pans for lasagna or shepherd’s pie but I don’t know if it’d be a good idea to use one of those for cobbler or not. I prefer glass for stuff like that but if I have to, I have to. Would I be able to just cut the recipe in half to use my casserole? I need help, I need a ‘fix’….lol I don’t do drugs, I eat…lol

  2. April and Treva: Thank you so much for letting me know how this turned out!!!
    I LOVE it when folks try my recipes!!! I am so glad you liked it as much as we do! Isn’t my mom the best?

    YAY!

  3. MY WORD! YUM! I finally got to make this and it is soooooooo good! My husband LOVED it too! He will be taking some of this to work with him and I know that his fellow nurse co-workers will try to get it from him! LOL
    Have a wonderful day!

  4. Oh Christy…my WORD! We had last minute company over the weekend and after an excellent meal of grilled steaks, potato salad, baked beans and deviled eggs we were stuffed. BUT! I’m so happy I made this peach cobbler because the rave reviews I got even with full stomachs was so awesome. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how good it was and I have to say vanilla ice cream is 100% a must have with this. Needless to say this is a keeper and going in my recipe book!

  5. OH foo! I am sorry about that!
    I am warning you, when you make this, be hungry. It is SOOOOOOO buttery and peachy and WONDERMOUS!

  6. I so wanted to try this recipe the other day so I got all of my things together and went to WalMart to purchase some peaches… Wouldn’t you know that they was all hard as bricks? So I am going to keep looking for some nice peaches! I can’t wait to give this one a try!

  7. Alice, welcome! It’s great to have you here!
    You know, I’ve been wondering about using other fruit in that recipe. I really appreciate you letting me know. I think I’m gonna try it with apples now thanks to you!

    Hope to see you around often! Thanks again to Whinging Geezer for his great review!
    Christy
