Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350.

Step 2

While the oven is preheating, place 1 tablespoon of the butter in each of two 10-ounce ramekins. (You can also bake this in a dish that holds 2 cups of liquid).

Step 3

Place the ramekins in the oven while it preheats, but keep an eye on it--don't let the butter brown.

Step 4

Meanwhile, peel, halve, and pit the peaches.

Step 5

Stir together the peaches, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl, and set aside while you make the rest.

Step 6

Whisk together the flour, the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, and the baking powder. Lightly stir in the half-and-half---small lumps are okay.

Step 7

Spoon the batter over the melted butter in each baking dish, and DO NOT STIR.

Step 8

Evenly pour the fruit mixture on top in each ramekin.

Step 9

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
