Print Recipe

A cozy fall dessert featuring velvety brown butter caramelizing around tender peaches with a warm cardamom twist, topped with a golden, slightly crisp biscuit crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend/almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch more
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, plus a pinch more if desired
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk or buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch slices. Toss with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until nutty and golden amber, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and a pinch of cardamom. Add milk or buttermilk, vanilla extract, and browned butter. Stir gently until just combined; batter may be lumpy.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of batter evenly over peaches.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
  6. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Watch butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Let peaches macerate to draw out juices. Avoid overmixing batter to keep topping tender. If topping is too thick, add a splash more milk. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend. Optional: add splash of bourbon to peach filling or chopped toasted pecans on top before baking.
