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. Dear Southern Plate,

    I just tried your Peach Cobbler – this is my very first time make one and my hubby said that it is the best Peach Cobbler he ever tasted. I was so delighted and excited the whole day that I tried your Berries Cobbler the next day. But he still like the Peach Cobbler the best … so I am going to bake him one tomorrow for dessert : ) Your recipies are so easy to follow and I am glad I found them because these Southener are not easy to please especially with food : ) I am looking forward to grab a copy of your cooking book soon. Thankyou very much.

  2. Hello,

    I’ve been searching for the RIGHT Peach Cobbler……gooey casserole and this may just be the one; I’ve written down the entire recipe and plan to make it today. My Husband likes it gooey and I hope he likes this one. All other’s I’ve made never made the grade. Thanks for this and I will keep you posted!!!!

  3. I made your cobbler tonight and it was soooo yummy. Only thing that came out wrong was that the butter seperated from the dough so when we cut into it a puddle of melted butter stayed in the pan. I know not to mix once the peaches are in but was I supposed to mix the butter and batter together? I did use canned peaches. Help please, I love this cobbler but the puddle of melted butter was kinda gross!
