Vanilla Ice cream or Whipped Cream for serving optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F or 175 °C.
Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and ½ cup water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in the oven to melt. This can be done while the oven is pre-heating
Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, self rising flour, and milk and whisk slowly to prevent clumping. Take the baking dish with melted butter in it out of the oven. Pour the flour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir.
Spoon the sliced peaches on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to the top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If you do not have self rising flour, you can make your own. To make 1 cup of self rising flour, take 1 level cup of all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt and whisk to combine.
