- 1/4 cup caster / superfine sugar
- 1 tsp cornflour / cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (plus more as desired)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups flour, plain/all purpose
- 1/3 cup caster / superfine sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (or extra 1 1/2 tsp baking powder)

- 85g / 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt (or sour cream), full fat
- 1 tsp demerara sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine peaches and sugar, tossing them together. Let them macerate for 40 minutes to draw out the juices.
- During the maceration, preheat the oven to 210°C/410°F (200°C fan).
- After macerating, drain the peaches in a colander, keeping the juices.
- Measure out 1/4 cup (65ml) of the peach juice and place it in a large bowl. Add cornflour, salt, and 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the juice and mix well.
- Pour the syrup over the peaches, tossing to coat. Adjust sweetness with more lemon or sugar according to taste.
- Transfer the peaches and juice into a medium glass or ceramic baking pan, and bake for 12 minutes before removing.
Notes
For a more intense flavor, let the peaches macerate for longer if desired.
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or lemon juice based on the peach variety.
Serving it with ice cream or whipped cream elevates the dessert experience.
