This is an effortless peach cobbler recipe utilizing canned peaches for convenience.

- Two 15-ounce cans sliced peaches in syrup

- 2 cups whipping cream chilled in the fridge

Instructions

- Drain 1 can of peaches; reserve the syrup from the other. Place the butter in a 9- by 12-inch ovenproof baking dish. Heat the butter on the stove or in the oven until it's melted. In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Stir in the milk and the reserved syrup. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Arrange the peaches over the batter. Bake for 1 hour. The cobbler is done when the batter rises around the peaches and the crust is thick and golden brown. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream
Notes
This recipe relies on the unique method of pouring batter over melted butter, which allows the crust to form and rise around the peaches during baking. Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the batter to the dish. Using self-rising flour is crucial as it contains the leavening agent needed for the crust to rise properly. Monitor the cobbler towards the end of the baking time; it's done when the top crust is thick, golden brown, and bubbly. Serving warm with freshly whipped cream is essential for the best experience; the contrast of warm cobbler and cool, rich cream is key.
