Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) sliced peaches in heavy syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish, tilting the pan to ensure the bottom and sides are evenly coated.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  3. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
  4. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter. Do not stir; the batter should sit on top of the butter.
  5. In a separate small bowl, toss the canned sliced peaches (with their syrup) with cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt.
  6. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Do not stir the peaches into the batter.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the edges are a deep mahogany brown, the fruit is bubbling vigorously, and the center is set but slightly springy.
