Delicious Baked Peach Pudding Recipe

The history of baked peach pudding can be traced back to the early 19th century in America. This delicious dessert has its roots in traditional English steamed puddings but with a twist of incorporating juicy peaches. It was a popular dessert among households in the Southern states where peaches were abundant.

Fun fact: Peaches have been cultivated for thousands of years and are believed to have originated in China. They were introduced to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Today, peaches are widely grown in various parts of the world and have become a staple fruit in many cuisines.

Now, let's move on to the recipe for Delicious Baked Peach Pudding:

Ingredients:
- 1 pint of flour (sifted)
- 2 teaspoonfuls of Royal baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Scant 1/2 cup of butter
- Sufficient sweet milk to make a soft dough
- Whole, ripe, pared peaches (as many as desired)
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 cup of water

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to a moderately hot temperature.

2. In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Gradually add the sweet milk to the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about half an inch.

6. Cut the dough into strips that are wide enough to wrap around the peaches.

7. Take a whole, ripe, pared peach and remove the pit. If using canned peaches, drain them well.

8. Place two halves of the peach together and wrap a strip of dough around it, leaving the top and bottom of the peach exposed. Pinch the dough firmly together to seal.

9. Repeat this process with the remaining peaches and dough, placing the wrapped peaches in a baking dish.

10. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water, then bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will create a syrup for the pudding.

11. Pour the syrup around the peach dumplings in the baking dish.

12. Bake the pudding in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown and the peaches are tender.

13. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The syrup will thicken as it cools.

14. Serve the Delicious Baked Peach Pudding warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Fun fact: Baking the peaches in this recipe intensifies their natural sweetness and creates a warm, gooey dessert that is perfect for any time of the year. The combination of the soft, tender peach and the flaky, buttery dough is truly irresistible.
