Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Drain the canned peaches thoroughly in a colander, gently patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess syrup. This helps prevent the dessert from becoming too watery.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Whisk together until well incorporated and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, melted butter, and milk. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Gently fold and mix until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Arrange the drained peach slices evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a single layer.
- Carefully pour the prepared batter over the peach slices, ensuring an even distribution. Use a spatula to spread the batter if needed.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the peach dessert cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the dessert to set and makes it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Can be enjoyed as a dessert or sweet breakfast treat.
Tips
- Drain Peaches Thoroughly: Pat the canned peaches dry to prevent a soggy dessert. Excess moisture can make your batter runny.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For the smoothest batter, ensure milk and butter are close to room temperature before mixing.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense texture.
- Check for Doneness: A golden-brown top and a clean toothpick test are your best indicators that the dessert is perfectly baked.
- Serving Suggestions: Elevate this dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Storage Tip: Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
