Ingredients:

  • 29 oz sliced peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the unsalted butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish or 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place it in the oven while it preheats until the butter is completely melted and sizzling.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the canned peaches (with syrup), cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the spices are evenly distributed.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and creamy, being careful not to over-mix.
  6. Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and pour the batter directly over the melted butter without stirring.
  7. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the top of the batter without stirring.
  8. Bake for 45–50 minutes until the crust has risen to the top and turned a deep mahogany-colored gold, and the peach juices are bubbling vigorously around the edges.
