In the age of the internet and those 'every recipe you can ever imagine' sites, I wonder why I keep such a collection of eclectic cookbooks, everything from a 4-H cookbook from the mid-90's to which I was a hopeful contributor to an inherited cookbook from my great-grandmother's church in the early '80's, perhaps it is mere sentimentality but I find these recipe collections both interesting and sometimes inspiring, after all when you have 10,000 recipes at your fingertips, how do you decide what to make when you can simply page through one of these little books and discover something new every time. This recipe is adapted from said 4-H cookbook. You can use a different type of fruit and it doesn't seem to matter if it is fresh, frozen, or canned.
Preheat over to 400 (F) and place a round cake pan or cast iron skillet inside, when heated through, add 1/4 cup butter and allow to melt.
While over is preheating, mix together:
3/4 c flour
3/4 c milk
4 eggs
1/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
(I did halve the batter recipe as I was making this for one person).
Once the butter melts, pour in 2-3 cups of peaches (I used a small can of sliced peaches), sprinkle generously with cinnamon, and then top with batter. Bake until puffed, golden, and set in the middle. It will have almost a custard consistency and be a little crunchy around the edges. Enjoy!
