Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup milk
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 cups sliced peaches (fresh or drained canned)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (if using fresh peaches)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Extra sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare peaches: peel and slice if fresh; drain if canned. Toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg if using.
- Melt butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish by placing it in the preheating oven. Remove once fully melted.
- Make the batter: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir in milk until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the baking dish over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Spoon peaches evenly over the batter. Sprinkle with extra sugar if desired.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Cool slightly before serving. Best served warm.
