1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Place butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish
Put dish in the oven while it preheats to melt the butter
2. Mix the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together:
Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk
Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor
3. Assemble
Remove hot pan with melted butter from oven
Pour the batter directly into the butter — do not stir
Spoon peaches and syrup evenly over the batter — again, don’t stir
The batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes
4. Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving
Serve with:
Vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream
A drizzle of caramel sauce (optional but delish)
Variations:
Use fresh peaches: peel and slice 4 cups, toss with ½ cup sugar and a splash of lemon juice
Swap in other fruits like berries, cherries, or apples
Try brown sugar instead of white for a deeper flavor
