Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium fresh peaches, peeled & sliced
  • 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for topping
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

Equipment

  • 8x8 baking dish or 9-inch pie plate
  • mixing bowls
  • pastry cutter or fork for cutting butter into flour
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • spoon for assembling topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly butter an 8x8 baking dish or 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a bowl, toss sliced peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread into baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Stir in buttermilk to form a shaggy dough.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of dough over the peaches, leaving gaps for bubbling. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until topping is golden and filling is bubbling.
  6. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe peaches for best flavor. Frozen or canned peaches also work well — just thaw and drain. Swap the spices to suit the season, and top with vanilla ice cream or caramel for an extra treat. To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 flour blend. Let rest after baking to set the filling properly.
