Crisp Peach Cobbler

WHAT IS A COBBLER? Cobbler is a fruit dessert or savory main dish that originated in the American British colonies in the mid-1800's. A baking dish or skillet is filled with fruit or savory ingredients and topped with a cake like batter, biscuit-style dough, or dumpling then baked in an oven.Fruit cobbler is similar to a fruit pie but so much easier to make! There's no messing with making pie crusts and trying to avoid soggy crusts. Cobbler is definitely more rustic looking than a fruit pie but the taste checks all the boxes!!! It can be made in a cast iron skillet or a pretty 2-quart ovenproof baking dish.This recipe is not only delicious with peaches but also a mix of peaches and blackberries and/or raspberries. Since I live in Florida, I've even made it with mangos and it was fabulous! Crisp Peach Cobbler can be made year round using fresh, frozen, or drained canned peaches as well. Every cobbler recipe begs for a scoop of ice cream to top it off. 

WHAT IS SELF-RISING FLOUR? Self-Rising Flour is a baking flour blend of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. The baking powder and salt act as a leavening agent without the use of yeast. It's great for many baked goods such as quick breads, pancakes, pizza crusts, or biscuits! It should not be used in yeast bread recipes or to replace all-purpose flour in recipes where you will be adding more baking powder and salt.

You can make your own self-rising flour! Whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 Tablespoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon fine salt. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 year at room temperature.
