Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, to serve

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Peel peaches by scoring an ‘X’ at the bottom, blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water. Slice into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Brown the Butter (5 minutes): Melt butter slowly in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with nutty aroma. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl. Let cool slightly.
  3. Make the Batter (5 minutes): To the browned butter, add remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Whisk in flour and milk, then vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread peach slices evenly in baking dish with juices. Pour batter over peaches, covering as much as possible. Sprinkle extra granulated sugar on top.
  5. Bake (40-45 minutes): Bake until crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Peach juices should bubble around edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to better monitor color change. Peel peaches for smoother texture but leaving skins on is fine for rustic feel. If batter is too thick, add milk tablespoon by tablespoon. Watch butter closely to avoid burning. Let peaches macerate to draw out juices and intensify flavor. Cool cobbler before serving to thicken juices. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and plant milk.
