Ingredients:
- 6 cups (900g) fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (8g) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In your baking dish, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt.
- If using canned peaches, stir in the cornstarch to ensure the filling thickens properly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or forks to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Pour in the milk and stir with a spatula just until the flour is moistened; the dough should remain shaggy and uneven.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peaches, leaving a few small gaps for steam to escape.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is a deep mahogany brown and the peach juices are bubbling vigorously around the edges.
