Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Score an X on the bottom of each peach, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to peel easily. Slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let macerate.
  2. Brown the Butter (5 minutes): Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
  3. Make the Cobbler Topping (10 minutes): In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in browned butter and milk, then add vanilla extract. Stir until just combined; batter will be thick and lumpy.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture with juices into a 9×9 inch baking dish. Dollop spoonfuls of topping over peaches, leaving gaps for fruit to peek through.
  5. Bake (35-40 minutes): Bake until topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Peaches should be bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  6. Prepare Cardamom Whipped Cream (while baking): Chill bowl and beaters for 10 minutes. Whip heavy cream with cardamom and 2 tablespoons sugar on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  7. Serve Warm: Let cobbler cool 10 minutes. Serve topped with cardamom whipped cream.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Blanch peaches to peel easily. Do not overmix the topping batter to keep it tender. Start whipping cream while cobbler bakes for fresh texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend; for dairy-free, use coconut milk and cream.
