1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
¾ cups Sugar
1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ teaspoons Salt
⅛ teaspoons Nutmeg
⅛ teaspoons Cinnamon
¼ cups Butter, Plus 1 Tablespoon For The Syrup
½ cups Milk
1 whole Egg Beaten
2 cups Sliced Peaches (fresh Or Frozen Unsweetened, Thawed And Drained)
⅓ cups Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Light Corn Syrup
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Steps:

Grease and flour a 9x9x2-inch baking pan and set aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl mix flour, white sugar, baking powder and spices. Use a pastry blender to cut 1/4 cup butter into the flour mixture until crumbly.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and beaten egg. Pour the milk and egg into the center of the flour mixture and stir until a batter forms. Pour the batter into the greased pan and arrange peach slices in a single layer on top of the batter.
Next in a small sauce pan combine the brown sugar, syrup, remaining 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and then quickly drizzle over the peach slices. Then bake the kuchen for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes and serve warm with ice cream. Or serve for breakfast with coffee or juice.
