Type of Peaches To Use
I’ve used fresh peaches but you could use frozen. Frozen peaches have more water than fresh so you may want to use a few extra teaspoons of flour.
Type of Bourbon To Use
The bourbon really complements the flavor of the peaches. My favorite bourbon to use is Maker’s Mark, but there are a lot of good ones out there. Use the one that most appeals to you. Jack Daniels Whiskey also works well.
Cast Iron Skillet
You’ll want to make this in a 9-inch cast iron skillet. If you do not have a cast iron pan, they are well worth the investment. They are inexpensive and will last a lifetime (and then some!). I know people who are still cooking with their grandparents and even their great-grandparents cast iron.
Cobbler Dough
A simple dough made from self-rising flour, sugar, cinnamon, milk, butter, and vanilla extract is spooned on top. It bakes up crispy on the outside and plenty soft inside and the underneath part soaks up all that bourbon and the peach juices. Absolutely delicious!
Recipe Tip
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, just use a regular baking pan.
How To Serve Skillet Bourbon Peach Cobbler
This cobbler tastes best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
