Place peaches in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, then plunge into ice water to peel.

Slice the peaches and transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Zest a lemon over the peaches and squeeze the juice in as well.

Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, ⅓ cup of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to the peaches and stir together.

Transfer the peach mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¾ cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Cube ½ cup of cold butter and mix it with the flour using fingers to create small discs of butter.

Slowly pour in 1 cup of half and half to create a wet batter.

Drop pieces of the dough over the peaches to cover them.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 1 hour until golden brown and bubbly.
