Method

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Put the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven to melt while it preheats.

2. 2

   Whisk flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together; whisk in milk and vanilla until you have a smooth, thin batter.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, toss peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon; simmer over medium heat 5 minutes until juicy.

   ⏱Start 5:00
4. 4

   Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish — do not stir.

5. 5

   Spoon the peaches and their juice evenly over the batter — again, do not stir. The batter will rise up through the fruit as it bakes.

6. 6

   Bake 40-45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and set and the fruit is bubbling at the edges.
