Ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 can (15-29 oz) sliced peaches in heavy syrup, undrained
- Ground cinnamon, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish to melt while the oven heats up.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and whole milk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter directly over the melted butter without stirring.
- Spoon the peaches and all of their syrup over the batter, ensuring you do not stir the layers together.
- Dust the top with cinnamon if desired and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
Notes
To achieve the perfect texture, ensure the baking dish and butter are sizzling hot before adding the batter, which helps create crispy edges. If you do not have self-rising flour, you can substitute one cup of all-purpose flour mixed with one and a half teaspoons of baking powder and a half teaspoon of salt.
