Heat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5.

Peel and stone the peaches and cut them into small chunks, place them in an approx 6.5in (16cm) skillet or oven dish, sprinkle over the sugar, cinnamon and ginger and toss to combine.

Mix together the flour, baking powder, ginger and sugar. Add the butter and rub in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs; stir in enough milk to form a soft dough, it should be slightly sticky.

With floured hands, break off pieces of the dough and roll them into small balls, place them on top of the peaches in the skillet.

Brush the tops of the balls of dough with milk, sprinkle with demarera sugar, then bake for 20-25 minutes until the topping is risen and golden and the peaches are bubbling.

Serve warm with ice cream.
