Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the peaches and place them in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, salt, baking powder, and flour.
- Add melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the pan.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using ripe, juicy peaches and adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. If peaches are out of season, canned or frozen peaches can be substituted, but drain excess liquid. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the taste. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess. This peach pudding pairs wonderfully with a side of Roasted Potatoes With Sour Cream for a delightful meal. For a festive touch, consider garnishing with fresh mint or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Yes, you can substitute peaches with other fruits like nectarines, plums, or even berries. Just ensure the fruit is ripe and adjust the sugar as needed based on the fruit's sweetness. Each variation will offer a unique flavor profile.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend has a good binding agent, like xanthan gum, to maintain the pudding's texture. Adjust baking times as needed.
How do I know when the pudding is done baking?
The pudding is done when it's golden brown on top and set in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. Baking times may vary slightly based on your oven, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes.
