Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit. Place butter in a 13x9 inch baking dish and melt in the microwave.

Step 2

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and whisk until most of the lumps are gone. Pour over the top of the melted butter but do not stir.

Step 3

Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a medium sized sauce pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Pour over the top of the butter and crust batter but do not stir.

Step 4

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until top is nicely golden brown. Allow to cool just slightly before serving. Serve warm on its own, or with vanilla ice cream.
