What are the 3 ingredients in the viral 3-ingredient peach cobbler?

The viral version typically uses a box of cake mix, a stick of butter, and canned peaches. However, my Super Easy Peach Cobbler uses flour, sugar, and milk for a more authentic, homemade flavor that truly tastes like the South.

Do you mix the batter and peaches together for a cobbler?

Absolutely not! The secret to the perfect texture is layering. Pour the batter over the butter, and the peaches over the batter. As it bakes, the batter rises through the fruit naturally.

Should you drain canned peaches for cobbler?

For this specific recipe, do not drain the peaches. The heavy syrup in the can is essential for creating the gooey, jam-like consistency that makes this dessert so special.

Can I use frozen or fresh peaches instead of canned?

Yes, you can. If using fresh or frozen peaches, you will need to simmer them with a cup of sugar and a half cup of water for about 10 minutes to create the necessary syrup before adding them to the batter.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt in the oven until bubbling.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
Stir the vanilla extract into the milk, then combine with the dry ingredients.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.
Pour the peaches and syrup over the batter without stirring.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 50 minutes until golden brown.
Let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your milk is at room temperature before mixing to prevent the melted butter from clumping when the batter is added. Always resist the urge to stir the layers once they are in the baking dish, as this is essential for the batter to rise through the fruit and create the signature golden, craggy top.
