Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or canned/frozen peaches, drained and thawed)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for syrup)
- 1 cup hot water
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter a medium baking dish.
- Arrange sliced peaches evenly in the prepared baking dish. If using canned peaches, drain them first.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
- In another bowl, whisk together melted butter and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the batter evenly over the peaches in the dish. Leave some slices partly visible.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup hot water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring often.
- Pour the hot syrup carefully over the batter and peaches in the dish. Do not stir.
- Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and firm.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. The sauce will settle at the bottom.
- Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or on its own.
Notes
Cinnamon or nutmeg can be added for a spiced flavor.
Use peach juice instead of part of the water in the syrup for extra richness.
For a lighter version, reduce sugar slightly.
