Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for batter
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cups sliced peeled peaches fresh or frozen
- 1 1/2 cups water for syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed, for syrup
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Add milk and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the sliced peaches.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugars dissolve.
- Slowly pour the hot syrup over the batter. Do not stir.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If using frozen peaches, be sure to thaw and drain them first. Canned peaches work too—just reduce the sugar slightly. Place a baking sheet under your dish to catch any syrup overflow.
