Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and water. Mix well.
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

15m
Melt Butter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and put it in the oven to melt.
Mix Batter
In a separate bowl, slowly mix the remaining 1 cup of sugar, self-rising flour, and milk to prevent clumping.

30m
Layer Batter
Carefully pour the batter mixture over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Add Fruit
Gently spoon the cooked peach mixture on top of the batter, pouring in the syrup as well.
Add Cinnamon
If using, sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and has risen.

Serve Warm
Scoop the cobbler onto plates and serve warm, ideally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Tips
Ensure the batter is poured gently over the melted butter to allow it to rise properly.
The batter will rise to the top during baking, creating a biscuit-like crust.
Serve immediately for the best texture, with your favorite ice cream or whipped cream.
