Ingredients:

  • 1 can (29 oz / 828g) sliced peaches in light syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pour the melted butter directly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet, swirling it to coat the surface completely.
  3. Drain the canned peaches, reserving 2 tablespoons of the syrup. Toss the peaches with cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until no lumps remain.
  5. Slowly stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and the reserved peach syrup. Whisk until the batter is smooth and velvety, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir the butter into the batter.
  7. Spoon the cinnamon-peaches evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the edges are deep mahogany brown and the top is golden and springy to the touch.
