3 cups of sliced peaches, skin off (~4 large ripe peaches)
1 ½ cups sugar (separated into 1 cup and a ½ cup)
1 stick of butter
¾ cup self-rising flour
¾ cup milk
Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Toss sliced peaches in 1 cup of sugar. Set aside.
Place stick of butter in a deep baking dish (e.g., square pyrex or 9-inch pie pan) and place in preheating oven to melt.
Make batter with ½ cup of sugar, self-rising flour, and milk.
Remove baking dish with melted butter from the oven and pour in the batter. Do not stir.

Tips
Peaches a little hard/not fully ripe yet? Place them top down in a brown paper bag for up to 24 hours and watch how they get perfectly ripe!
Don't have self-rising flour on hand? Add 1½ tsp of baking powder and a ¼ tsp of salt to ¾ cup AP flour for this recipe.
