Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them into wedges. Place the peach slices in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl with the peaches. Toss gently until the peach slices are evenly coated.
Pour the bourbon over the peach mixture and toss again to combine. Set the bowl aside for about 10 minutes to let the peaches macerate.
While the peaches are resting, melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish by placing it in the preheated oven. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Spoon the peach mixture, along with any accumulated juices, evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir. The batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
