Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh peaches, diced
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp (35g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (4g) baking powder
- ¼ tsp (1g) salt
- 3 tbsp (42g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ cup (60ml) whole milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, toss the diced peaches with 2 tbsp sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out the juices.
- Pour the peach mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan or two 7oz ramekins, spreading the fruit evenly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 3 tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use a fork or pastry cutter to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps.
- Stir in the milk just until combined, stopping as soon as flour streaks disappear.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peaches, leaving small gaps for the syrup to bubble through.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the topping is deep mahogany gold and the fruit juices are bubbling vigorously.
