Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a baking dish.
- Mix sugar, self-rising flour, egg, milk, and salt separately until smooth.
- Pour the batter mixture into the baking dish over the melted butter.
- Sprinkle mashed peaches evenly over the batter.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches instead of canned or frozen, as they provide a more vibrant taste. You can also substitute half of the butter with coconut oil for a different flavor profile. If you're out of self-rising flour, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt to achieve the same effect.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is delightful served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of Hot Fudge Syrup for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or a scoop of creamy oatmeal for a comforting brunch spread. Consider serving it alongside other American recipes for a well-rounded meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the pie. This will help maintain the texture and prevent a soggy bottom.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Certainly! You can substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend that contains xanthan gum. Adjust the baking time slightly if needed, as gluten-free batters can behave differently.
How can I make this pie sweeter?
If you prefer a sweeter pie, you can increase the sugar by 1/4 cup or add a tablespoon of brown sugar for a richer flavor. Tasting the batter before baking can help you adjust the sweetness to your liking.
