Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish by placing it in the preheating oven. Remove the dish once the butter has completely melted.
While the butter is melting, drain one can of peaches and reserve the syrup from the other can. You will use both the peaches and the reserved syrup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until no lumps remain, forming a thick batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Distribute the peaches evenly across the top of the batter. Pour the reserved syrup over the peaches. Again, do not stir.
Optional: Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for added flavor.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
