Print Recipe

A warm, nutty, and sweet peach cobbler featuring a brown butter biscuit topping, served with melting vanilla ice cream for a comforting and elegant dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice about 4 cups of ripe peaches. Toss them with 1/4 cup of sugar and the cinnamon (if using) in a bowl. Let them sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Pour the sugared peaches and their juices into the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the brown butter.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1/3 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Spoon the biscuit batter over the peaches in dollops, spreading gently with a spatula to cover as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
  7. Bake the skillet in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  8. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning; remove from heat as soon as it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Macerate peaches for at least 10 minutes to release juices and sweetness. Dollop biscuit topping unevenly for crispy edges. Use a cast iron skillet for best crust and rustic presentation. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend; for dairy-free, use plant-based milk and vegan butter. Vanilla ice cream is essential for serving.
