Ingredients:

  • 5 cups (750g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (15g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt directly in a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of melted butter, ensuring the peaches are evenly coated, and spread the mixture into a flat layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until no clumps remain.
  5. Pour in the milk and whisk quickly, ensuring not to overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable.
  6. Fold in 6 tablespoons of melted butter using a spatula until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter directly over the peaches in the skillet, spreading gently with a spatula but leaving some peaches peeking through.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the batter has risen to a deep mahogany gold and the peach juices are bubbling vigorously around the edges.
