For years I would make peach cobbler with a pie crust on the bottom and a lattice top. There was no way I was going to change!
Well, one day, actually not that long ago, I decided to try this version of peach cobbler crust and it was quick to become a favorite especially with guest! Because it is such a favorite I always double the recipe when we have company for dinner or Sunday lunch.
Keeping it real southern I always serve this peach cobbler with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream or my own homemade ice cream.
This peach cobbler literally takes 10 minutes to throw together! You want to make sure you have self rising flour, butter, canned sliced peaches, sugar, milk on hand and as an option I add vanilla and lemon zest.
My southern mother and grandmother would make peach cobbler with fresh peaches, sugar, a little flour as a thickener, allowing the juices to make its own sauce and would use a pie crust for the top and bottom. I still love that style peach cobbler, but if peaches aren’t in season and time is an issue, this peach cobbler is easy and a perfect substitute.
