3/4 cup flour
Less than 1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
3 cups sliced fresh peaches

Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together. Mix with 1 1/2 cups sugar. Slowly stir in milk. Melt butter in 8-by-8-by-2-inch pan (a larger pan makes a thinner crust). Pour batter over butter; do not stir. Lay peaches on batter. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar or less. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Serves 6.
