Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the syrup is bubbling, approximately 50 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (50 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
Feel free to substitute other fruits like berries, plums, or nectarines for the peaches.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
