This recipe has been in my in-laws’ family for years. It’s a time-honored tradition, and the only way my family will each peaches.
Fix this recipe, and you will never fix the traditional peach cobbler again!
Line a 9 x 13 greased pan with sliced peaches (see note below).
Put the water in a sauce pan and bring to a slow boil.
Cream together 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter. Sift dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt with the sugar and butter, alternating with milk.
Spread the batter evenly over the peaches.
Combine the remaining 2 cups sugar and cornstarch, and sprinkle over the cake batter. Pour boiling water over all. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degress.
Notes:
If your fresh peaches are not overly sweet, sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar over the peaches.
It’s okay to not put on the entire 1 3/4 cups boiling water as the peaches will create some juice. If you use the entire 1 3/4 cups water, please line your oven as this dish will boil over!
You can use frozen/thawed peaches, but make sure to decrease the boiling water needed at the end to 1 1/4 cups.

I thought the topping was great. It actually reminded me of a cake donut! I wasn’t fond of the peach but I will retry it with berries another time. Thanks for the great recipe. OH I will use a larger pan next time – this time it dripped over and made a mess in my oven – but worth it!

I am baking at 350 degrees – I hope that’s right. But could you please edit this recipe to have the temp? I will be back with a review later Thanks!

I have a question, can you make this with frozen peaches? My family has a peach orchard so I have lots of frozen peaches from last year that need to be used up.
