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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, toss the diced peaches with 2 tbsp sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out the juices.
  4. Pour the peach mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan or two 7oz ramekins, spreading the fruit evenly.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 3 tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  6. 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.
  7. Stir in the milk just until combined, stopping as soon as flour streaks disappear.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peaches, leaving small gaps for the syrup to bubble through.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the topping is deep mahogany gold and the fruit juices are bubbling vigorously.
