Southern Bourbon Brown Butter Peach Cobbler
The perfect kick off to summer dessert recipe that everyone will love!
Equipment
- 12" cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 5-6 fresh peaches or 1lb sliced frozen peaches
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 TBS vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- For the peaches, peel and slice the peaches into 1/2 inch slices and set them into a bowl. Add the bourbon and 1/4 cup of brown sugar and toss together. Set the bowl aside for now.
- Next make the batter. In a large mixing bowl add the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, milk, salt, and vanilla and combine until no flour is visible.
- In an oven safe skillet, brown the butter by heating the skillet on medium and allowing the butter to bubble up. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until small brown bits start to form on the bottom of the skillet. The butter will have an amazing nutty smell when it's browned. *See note for optional 9x13 casserole preparation.
- Lastly, pour half of the batter into the hot skillet of butter, layer the peaches mixture on top of the batter and dollop the remaining batter on top of the peaches.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- If you are feeling fancy, top each serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy!
Notes
*Note: If you prefer to use a 9x13 casserole dish instead of cast iron, you can brown the butter in a separate skillet and pour the brown butter into a preheated casserole dish.
