Peach Pudding

So what exactly is a Peach Pudding?  It's kinda like a peach cobbler except the topping isn't quite as crunchy. Every bit as good though.  Last week we had this dessert as the sweet ending to our Honey Molasses BBQ Chicken meal and it was oh so good.  Please serve it warm with vanilla ice cream.  The ice cream makes it.  But we all knew that.

 

Ingredients for pudding:

· 1 cup all-purpose flour
· 1/2 cup sugar
· 2 teaspoons baking powder
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
· 1/2 cup milk
· 3 cups sliced, peeled, fresh or frozen peaches
· 1 1/2 cups water
· 1/2 cup white sugar
· 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
· 1 tablespoon butter
· 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in the milk just until combined; fold in peaches.
3. Spread into a greased 8-in. square baking dish.
4. In a large saucepan, combine the water, white sugar, brown sugar, butter and nutmeg. Bring to boil, stirring until sugars are dissolved. Pour over top of peach mixture.
5. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until filling is bubbly and a toothpick inserted in topping comes out clean.
6. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
