Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in an 8-inch baking dish.
- Sift together the dry ingredients; add milk and stir until blended.
- Spoon the batter over the melted butter without stirring.
- Pour sweetened fruit over the batter.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also substitute the sweetened fruit with fresh berries or canned peaches for a different taste. If you're short on time, use a pre-made fruit compote. Ensure the butter is fully melted to create a nice crispy base without stirring the batter for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Lazy Day Duff warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Sunday-Supper Salad for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy it as a cozy dessert or a sweet breakfast treat. A sprinkle of cinnamon can elevate the flavor profile even more.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm, ensuring not to overheat, as it can dry out the duff. You can also reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
