Alright. I'll just admit it now. I haven't actually tried this recipe, yet. But I have made it. I was in a crunch. Kasey signed me up to compete in a pie taste test competition for a Ward activity. So, literally 35 minutes before it started I whipped this little baby up. You know what happened next? This little sucker won it all, and allowed me to enjoy a 15 dollar gift card to an ice cream joint in Orem. I didn't even have time to snag a piece myself. I call that success. And I owe it all to good ol' Paula Deen. Thanks, Paula. I owe ya one! Now, without further ado...
Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
- 2 cups sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups self rising flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- Ground cinnamon, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
