Method

Arrange the peaches in the buttered dish and sprinkle with the lemon zest and juice.
For the batter, beat the butter with the 1 1/4 cups sugar for 4 to 5 minutes, to a sugary paste.
Add the oats and flour and mix 4 to 5 minutes, until it looks like coarse crumbs. Add the milk and mix 3 to 4 minutes more, until thick, creamy and spreadable.
Drop the batter in spoonfuls over the peaches and spread it to cover evenly.
Sprinkle the 1/4 cup sugar evenly over the top, then spritz generously with cold water until all the sugar is wet.
Bake for about 45 minutes, until browned and crispy.
Cool at least 30 minutes. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
