Ingredients:
- 2 cans (15 oz / 425g each) sliced peaches in heavy syrup
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (8g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup (180ml) whole milk
- 1 tbsp (15g) melted butter
Instructions:
- Pour the canned peaches and their syrup into a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in the 2 tbsp (28g) of butter, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry; stir this into the peaches.
- Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the syrup thickens and smells aromatic, then remove from heat.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pour the melted butter (15g) into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish, swirling to coat the sides.
- Pour the thickened peach mixture directly over the melted butter.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk just until combined—do not overmix.
- Dollop the batter over the peaches, either spreading evenly or leaving in rustic clumps.
- Place in the center rack of the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
