Why You Will Love This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler recipe is the most completely extraordinary and the most genuinely foolproof Southern pour-over cobbler that delivers the most authentically beloved individual result through the most brilliantly simple and the most completely effortless technique of pouring the batter directly over the most pooled melted butter and then spooning the peaches over the batter — with absolutely no stirring at any step of the most entire assembly process — for the most magical self-rising individual cobbler that assembles its own most beautiful layers during baking.
The self-rising flour is the most specifically essential and the most completely critical ingredient in this recipe. Unlike all-purpose flour which requires the most separate addition of baking powder and salt, self-rising flour contains the most perfectly pre-measured and the most properly distributed individual leavening agents that produce the most beautifully uniform rise and the most properly even individual texture throughout this cobbler’s most brilliantly magical pour-over batter. Our Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches makes a beautifully equally Southern and equally pour-over companion for a complete and wonderful easy Southern peach cobbler collection.
Ingredients Needed for This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
- ½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Self-Rising Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 can (29 oz) Sliced Peaches in syrup or juice, or 3 to 4 cups fresh peach slices
- Optional: ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon and ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
- Optional: 1 tbsp Additional Brown Sugar for sprinkling over peaches
How to Make This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set in the oven. Allow the butter to melt completely while the oven preheats — watch carefully to prevent burning, cara mia.
While the butter melts, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and milk in a bowl until the most smooth and the most completely combined batter forms.
Remove the hot baking dish with the most completely melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter most evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir — this is the most absolute and the most critical individual rule.
Spoon the canned or fresh peaches and approximately half their juice or syrup most evenly over the batter. If using fresh peaches, toss with a tablespoon of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice first. Do not stir.
Sprinkle optional cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar over the peach layer.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the batter has risen most dramatically up and around the peaches and the most exposed batter portions are the most gorgeously golden brown and the most properly set. The center may appear the most slightly soft — allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
How to Serve This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
Serve warm directly from the baking dish in generous individual scoops with a most generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous pour of heavy cream alongside for the most completely extraordinary and the most genuinely Southern comfort dessert experience.
The most beautifully golden and the most cakey-edged individual portions are the most prized — serve those outer portions to the most honored guests and the most purely peach-centered interior portions to those who prefer the most fruit-forward individual experience. Our Peach Cobbler with Canned Peaches makes a beautifully equally simple Southern and equally canned-peach companion for a complete and wonderful pantry peach cobbler collection.
How to Store This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 15 minutes to restore the most beautifully golden and the most properly cakey individual batter texture that microwaving cannot replicate. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Tips to Make This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
Never stir the batter into the butter or the peaches into the batter at any individual point during assembly. This non-stirring rule is the most essential and the most specifically critical technique of this recipe — the individual layers must remain separate so the batter can rise most dramatically up and around the peaches during baking for the most magical and the most properly layered individual pour-over cobbler result.
Use peaches packed in juice rather than heavy syrup if available — the most naturally flavored individual cobbler results from juice-packed peaches rather than the most heavily sugared heavy-syrup-packed varieties. If only heavy-syrup-packed peaches are available, reduce the granulated sugar in the batter by two tablespoons.
Helpful Notes for This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
The self-rising flour cannot be substituted with all-purpose flour without adjustment — if self-rising is unavailable, substitute one cup of all-purpose flour plus one and a half teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to replicate the most essential individual leavening component of the self-rising flour.
Monitor the butter in the oven most carefully during preheating — butter can burn if left in the oven the most extended time during a slow preheat. Remove the dish the moment the butter is the most completely melted, even if the oven has not yet reached the most full 350°F.
Variation of This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
Maria made a version substituting brown sugar for the granulated sugar in the batter for the most completely extraordinary and the most warmly caramelized individual brown sugar pour-over peach cobbler. Teresa tried using canned cherry pie filling in place of the canned peaches for the most completely extraordinary and the most classically beloved cherry cobbler using the same most brilliant pour-over technique.
For a coconut version, substitute the milk with coconut milk for the most completely extraordinary and the most tropically vibrant coconut peach Southern pour-over cobbler. Our Brown Butter Peach Cobbler makes a beautifully equally buttery and equally Southern companion for a complete and wonderful Southern peach cobbler collection.
FAQs About This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler Recipe
Can I substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour?
Yes, with adjustment. Substitute one cup of all-purpose flour with one and a half teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt whisked in — this replicates the most essential pre-measured individual leavening that self-rising flour provides. Measure the flour correctly using the spoon-and-level method for the most accurately measured individual cup.
Why do I not stir the batter into the butter?
The most essential non-stirring rule allows the batter and butter to maintain the most distinct individual layers in the dish during baking. The batter rises most dramatically up and around the peaches through the most natural individual leavening action of the self-rising flour, creating the most beautifully characteristic and the most properly layered individual pour-over cobbler texture. Stirring combines the layers and prevents the most essential individual rise.
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes. Peel and slice 3 to 4 fresh peaches into half-inch slices, toss with a tablespoon of granulated sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice, and spoon over the batter in the same most completely non-stirred manner. Fresh peaches produce the most vibrant and the most naturally fragrant individual flavor while canned peaches are the most convenient year-round alternative.

This Paula Deen Peach Cobbler is the most completely extraordinary and the most genuinely effortless Southern pour-over cobbler that makes every gathering and every summer evening feel genuinely and completely warm through the most magical butter-batter-peach non-stir technique and the most gorgeously golden self-rising batter and the most sweet bubbling peach filling in every single warm and completely irresistible Paula Deen style peach cobbler serving.
