Ingredients
Instructions

- Stir the mixture well and pour it into a prepared pan.
- Let the batter set for a short while.
- Place the peaches in a pot on the stove and bring to a boil.

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If fresh peaches are not available, canned or frozen peaches can be used; just be sure to drain them properly. To enhance the dish, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. For a lighter version, substitute half of the sugar with a sugar alternative, making sure to adjust for sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
This Peach Easy is delightful on its own, but you can elevate it by serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with Strawberries With Mint for a fresh side. Consider serving it alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a pleasant dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, covering with foil to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Yes, you can substitute peaches with other fruits like blueberries, cherries, or even sliced apples. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time slightly for firmer fruits, and keep in mind that different fruits may alter the sweetness of the dish.
What can I do if the batter is too thick?
If the batter appears too thick, you can add a little more milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. This will help ensure that the batter spreads evenly in the pan and cooks thoroughly.
How do I know when the dish is done baking?
The Peach Easy is done when it is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s ready. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent overbaking.
