A quick and easy brown butter peach cobbler with a nutty caramel flavor, paired perfectly with vanilla bean ice cream for a warm and creamy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (can substitute with frozen peaches, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk (whole preferred, 2% works fine)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream, to serve

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 6 medium peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter. Watch closely as it foams and then starts turning a golden brown with nutty aroma, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a heat-safe bowl to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 3/4 cup (180ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the browned butter. Stir gently until just combined; the batter will be slightly thick.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture, including juices, evenly over the batter but don’t stir.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
  6. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Scoop warm cobbler into bowls and top generously with vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning; the nutty aroma is your best guide. Do not overmix the batter to keep the cobbler tender. Rotate the pan halfway through baking if browning unevenly. Add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to peach mixture if peaches are very juicy to avoid soggy bottom. Use real vanilla bean ice cream for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend including xanthan gum. For vegan, use vegan butter and plant-based milk with dairy-free ice cream.
