Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Butter or margarine | ½ cup (1 stick) | Creates buttery crust & prevents sticking |
| Milk | 1 cup | Moisture for tender batter |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup | Sweetness & balance |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup | Structure for crust |
| Baking powder | 1 tsp | Helps batter rise |
| Salt | Dash | Balances flavor |
| Peaches | 1 large can (29 oz) or 3–4 cups fresh | Juicy fruit filling |
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat & Melt Butter – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place butter in a 9×13-inch dish and let it melt in the oven.
- Mix Batter – Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth (small lumps are fine).
- Assemble – Pour batter over melted butter (do not stir). Spoon peaches and syrup evenly over batter—again, don’t mix.
- Bake – Return dish to oven; bake 40–45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Cool & Serve – Let rest 10 minutes before serving so juices thicken.
Pro Tips
- Use real butter for richer flavor and browning.
- If using fresh peaches, toss with ¼ cup sugar + 1 tbsp water before baking.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.
- Sprinkle sugar on top before baking for extra crispness.
