Ingredients Method Notes

For the Fruit Filling
  • 4 cups sliced peaches, fresh or thawed frozen Can also use canned peaches; drain well.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided Reduce by 2-3 tablespoons if peaches are very sweet.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Enhances flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Plus a pinch of nutmeg.
For the Batter
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter Melt in the pan.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9 by 13 pan and slide it into the oven to melt.
  2. Toss peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and spices. If your peaches are very juicy, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla until smooth.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring.
  2. Spoon the peaches and all their syrup evenly across the top.
  3. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are crisp.
  4. Let it rest for 10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Hot pan equals crisp edges. Don't skimp on the rest time to set juices for neater scoops. Can be made ahead by prepping dry ingredients and peaches.
