Notes
To make this delicious Southern Peach Cobbler gluten-free. Simply substitute the all-purpose flour in the topping. With a good quality gluten-free flour blend. Look for one thatβs designed for baking. And contains a mix of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour. For the best texture. You might need to add a pinch of xanthan gum. To help bind the batter. If your flour blend doesnβt include it. Follow the rest of the recipe as directed. And youβll have a scrumptious gluten-free cobbler. Thatβs just as good as the original. Enjoy this comforting dessert. Without any gluten worries!
