1 large or 2 regular size cans sliced peaches*
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk or sweet milk
1 cup self rising flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter


 Preheat oven to 350*.

Generously grease or spray with cooking oil spray a 13x9 baking dish or pan. Pour peaches and juice into pan and distribute the peach slices evenly. Set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, mix sugar, milk, flour and vanilla. Stir till well combined and then pour over peaches in baking dish. This will be very runny, but don't panic, it will be fine. Dot the top with the butter and place in oven.

Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Some of the batter will be puffy and brown and some will still be a little gooey. This is part of this cobbler's charm.

Cool a bit on a wire rack. I suggest serving it still warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

*Notes: Any kind of canned fruit or fruit pie filling can be used, and also fresh apples sliced thin, fresh blueberries, fresh peaches, nectarines or apricots, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, plums, strawberries or even figs. For fresh fruit I use 1/2-1 cup sugar to 2 cups fresh fruit, in addition to the sugar in the original recipe, according to how tart the fruit may be. When using canned fruit pie filling, I use 2 cans for this recipe. I also use 2 sticks of butter sometimes rather than just 1 stick. I'm a rebel that way. ;-)
