Instructions
Step 1: Heat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Step 3: Add the Peaches
Fold the sliced peaches gently into the batter. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Frozen peaches can be added directly without thawing.
Step 4: Make the Syrup
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugars fully dissolve.
Step 5: Pour and Bake
Carefully pour the hot syrup evenly over the batter. Do not stir. Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the top is golden and set.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the pudding sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
