Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the prepared peaches. Stir gently over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and peaches soften slightly, creating a syrupy base.
Step 3: Pour this glorious peach butter mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and optional salt. Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring until just combined into a soft, sticky dough. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Carefully drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough directly into the peach butter mixture in the baking dish, leaving a little space between each dollop.
Step 6: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through. The peach butter sauce should be bubbly and caramelized around the edges.
Step 7: Once out of the oven, let the peach butter swim biscuits cool in the dish for about 10-15 minutes before serving warm. They are fantastic on their own, or with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or powdered sugar.
