Tips to Make Paula Deen’s Peach Cobbler

• Use fresh peaches in season for an amazing flavor twist if you want to feel gourmet!

• Add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.

Variation

Want to shake things up? Consider swapping the canned peaches for fresh or frozen peaches. For a healthier take, use almond milk instead of whole milk or replace half the butter with a light cooking oil. You can even add spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a cozy twist!

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned ones?

Absolutely! Just peel and slice about 4-5 fresh peaches to replace the canned.

How do I make this cobbler gluten-free?

Swap out the self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend and add a teaspoon of baking powder to mimic the rise.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

You can prepare the batter a few hours ahead and just pour it over the melted butter when you’re ready to bake. Just keep it covered in the fridge until you’re set to bake!
