Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) peaches, sliced or diced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2.6g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

Instructions:

  1. Combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a 9x9 inch baking dish. Note: Stirring them directly in the pan saves a dish.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter until the fruit is evenly coated and glossy. Spread the mixture in a flat layer.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Stir in the whole milk until just combined. Do not overmix or the crust will be tough.
  5. Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of melted butter into the batter. Note: Use a folding motion to keep the air in.
  6. Pour the batter directly over the peaches without stirring the batter into the fruit. Keep the layers separate.
  7. Place in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
