Ingredients

4 cup Sliced peaches
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter or margarine
1 cup Flour
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
1 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Vanilla ice cream

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
2
In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches and 1/4 cup sugar. Toss gently to coat and let stand for 10 minutes to release juices.
3
Place butter or margarine in an 8x12-inch baking dish and place in the preheating oven until melted, or melt in the microwave and pour into the dish.
4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
5
Add milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined into a smooth batter.
6
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
7
Gently spoon the peach mixture and its juices over the batter, distributing evenly without mixing.
8
Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
