Ingredients
Filling
- 1 1/2 lbs peaches pitted and sliced
- 7 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Topping
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 teaspoons sugar divided
- 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Combine the peaches with the sugar, flour, lemon juice, almond extract, coconut extract and coconut in a 2 quart baking dish. Stir to coat, then let sit until the peaches have started to release their juices, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 teaspoons of the sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the coconut. Add in 1/2 cup of the buttermilk and stir just until moistened - do not overmix. Add more buttermilk if the mixture is too dry.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the topping over the peaches. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar over the top.
- Bake until the fruit is tender and the top is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
