No. 2 in our Top 10 Events this month, the Georgia Peach Festival in Fort Valley and Byron boasts the World’s Largest Peach Cobbler. The festival’s recipe, which feeds thousands, is below, along with a more practical version of peach cobbler you can make at home.

World’s Largest Peach Cobbler
75 gallons sliced fresh Georgia peaches
150 pounds of self-rising flour
150 pounds sugar
32 gallons milk
90 pounds of butter

Divide self-rising flour, sugar and milk into 6 equal parts and pour into 6 clean trashcans. Mix thoroughly with clean boat paddle. Sizzle 90 pounds of butter in a 5-foot x 11-foot baking pan 6 inches deep. Pour in batter, then add 75 gallons of sliced peaches. Bake at 350 degrees for about 4 hours until golden brown. If you can’t get fresh or fresh frozen peaches, you better be prepared to open a lot of giant cans of peaches.
