Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cups sliced peeled peaches (fresh or frozen)   
     
  • Topping:
    • 1 1/2 cups water
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8-inch baking dish. Preheating ensures even baking. Greasing prevents sticking.

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. Mixing dry ingredients ensures even distribution of leavening and spices.

  • Add Milk: Add milk and stir until combined. Stirring until combined creates a smooth and lump-free batter.

  • Fold in Peaches: Carefully fold in the peaches. Folding gently prevents breaking the delicate peach slices.

  • Pour into Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Pouring evenly ensures consistent baking.

  • Prepare Topping: For the topping, combine water, sugars, butter, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Combining topping ingredients creates a homogenous syrup.

  • Boil Topping: Bring to a boil, stirring until sugars dissolve. Boiling ensures the sugars are fully dissolved and the syrup is smooth.

  • Pour Syrup: Pour the syrup over the peach batter. Pouring evenly ensures the topping covers the entire pudding.

  • Bake: Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking until a clean toothpick ensures the pudding is fully cooked.

  • Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream if desired! Cooling slightly allows the flavors to meld. Serving with ice cream enhances the dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen peaches.
  • Ensure topping sugars dissolve completely.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
