Print Recipe

A nostalgic and easy-to-make peach cobbler featuring a rich brown butter batter and juicy peaches, served best with creamy vanilla bean ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for peaches
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving
  • Optional: splash of fresh lemon juice (about 1 teaspoon)
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and about 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Set aside to macerate.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Transfer immediately to a mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk in 3/4 cup sugar to the browned butter until combined. Add 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; mix well.
  4. Slowly pour in 1 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Batter will be slightly thick but pourable.
  5. Pour batter into a greased 9-inch baking dish or skillet. Spoon peach slices evenly over the top without stirring.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm with generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning; a golden amber color and nutty aroma indicate readiness. Do not stir peaches into the batter to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature milk for smooth batter. Peeling peaches is easier by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water.
