Description
Experience the sophisticated depth of summer flavors with this Brown Butter Peach Cobbler. By browning high-quality European butter, we create a nutty, caramelized base that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of fresh, sun-ripened peaches. This easy-to-follow recipe ensures a perfectly crisp, buttery crust paired with a tender crumb and juicy fruit filling, making it an ideal centerpiece for any summer gathering.
Ingredients
6 cups fresh peaches, sliced into 1/2 inch wedges
1/2 cup unsalted butter, European style
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine sliced peaches with half of the granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and let macerate for 15 minutes.
Place butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until it foams and turns a dark golden brown with a nutty fragrance.
Pour the browned butter into a baking dish to coat the bottom evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and baking powder.
Slowly stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined to create a smooth batter.
Pour the batter over the brown butter in the baking dish without stirring.
Top evenly with the macerated peaches and their juices, then sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the butter does not burn by watching it closely once it starts to foam. The brown specks at the bottom of the pan are the flavor-packed toasted milk solids, so be sure to include them in the baking dish. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
