Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
- Combine flour, sugar, milk, and baking powder and pour over the melted butter.
- Pour sweetened peaches over the batter.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the dish. You can also substitute almond milk for a dairy-free option or use a gluten-free flour blend if necessary. If peaches are out of season, canned peaches in syrup can work as a substitute, just drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperatures. This dish pairs beautifully with Honey And Poppy Seed Biscuits for a brunch spread. Consider adding a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra flavor before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover peach dumpling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used; just thaw and drain them before adding to the batter. Keep in mind that they may release more moisture, so adjust the baking time accordingly to ensure the dumpling cooks through.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make peach dumplings vegan, substitute the butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, and replace the milk with a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk. Ensure that the sugar used is also vegan, as some brands use bone char in processing.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency. The batter should be thick but still flow easily over the melted butter and peaches.
