Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Mixture

2 cups Peach, sliced
1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar

Batter

3/4 cup Butter (sliced)
1 cup Self-Rising Flour
3/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
1 cup Milk

Instructions

Prepare Peaches: In a medium-sized bowl, stir 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar into 2 cups of sliced peaches. Mix well to coat evenly and set aside to allow the sugar to draw out the peach juices.
Preheat Butter: Slice 3/4 cup butter into an 8-inch by 11-inch or 9-inch by 12-inch baking dish. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) and allow the butter to melt while you prepare the batter.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of self-rising flour and 3/4 cup dark brown sugar until thoroughly combined.
Add Milk: Gradually whisk 1 cup of milk into the dry mixture until you achieve a smooth batter free of lumps.
Combine Batter and Butter: Once the butter has melted in the baking dish, carefully remove the hot dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter, ensuring the butter fully saturates into the batter.
Arrange Peaches: Spoon the sugared peaches evenly over the top of the batter, distributing them so each serving will have a good portion of fruit.
Bake Cobbler: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The cobbler is done when the batter has risen around the peaches, and the top is lightly browned with slightly darker edges.
Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm peach batter cobbler as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and sweetness.
The baking dish size is flexible, but avoid thinner pans to prevent burning the batter edges.
You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus baking powder and salt (1 cup flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt).
Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
To add extra flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on the peaches before baking.
