Brown Butter Nectarine Cobbler/Cake
- 3 cups fresh nectarines or peaches in 1/2-inch slices, or a combination about 1 pound
- 5 ounces sugar (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 ounces flour (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Demerara sugar
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fruit slices, 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice.
- Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a simmer, then take the pan off the heat.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until it smells very nutty, turns golden, and flecks of dark brown appear, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour the brown butter into an 8-inch-by-8-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Scrape the batter on top of the brown butter, use a spatula to even out the batter but be careful not to mix it into the butter.
- Scatter the nectarine slices and juice on top of the batter without stirring.
- Sprinkle with the almonds, nutmeg and Demerara sugar.
- Bake until golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve warm.
