This classic Southern dessert comes together quickly with pantry staples and a can of peaches. Buttery, warm, and sweet with a hint of cinnamon, it's perfect for weeknight treats or impromptu gatherings.
Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking pan and melt it in the oven while preheating.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Remove the pan with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter over the butter—do not stir.
Spoon the peaches with their juice evenly over the batter. Do not mix.
Sprinkle cinnamon over the top if using.
Bake for 38–44 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
Delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can use fresh peaches if desired—just cook them briefly with a little sugar and lemon juice first.
