Print Recipe

A quick and easy small batch peach cobbler featuring a nutty browned butter crust and juicy peaches, perfect for summer evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole milk preferred; can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently as it foams and then begins to brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Peel and slice 2 large peaches into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and optional 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside to macerate.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the browned butter (warm, not hot), 1/4 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Pour the batter into a greased 6×6-inch baking dish. Gently nestle the peach slices evenly over the batter without stirring.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. If crust edges brown too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Peeling peaches is recommended for best texture but can be skipped for a rustic feel. Batter should be mixed just until combined to keep crust tender. Can refrigerate assembled cobbler for a couple hours before baking, adding a few extra minutes to bake time.
