Peach Buckle - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Cake Layer
4 tablespoons butter (plus extra for the dish)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
Filling
8 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon butter
Serve with
whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0; butter the bottom of a 2-quart casserole.
Make the cake layer--in a big bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar.
In another small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the butter mixture with a wooden spoon, and then stir in the milk.
The mixture will be thick and lumpy; spread batter into prepared casserole dish.
Make the filling--in a big bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, and boiling water; pour over batter in the pan.
Dot the top with the 1 tablespoon butter.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the batter that bubbles up through the filling is golden.
Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.
