Peach Buckle

· By Emily Tyler · From pages 18, 19 of the print edition

Nothing like a juicy peach at the peak of the season and such a treat baked into this rustic buckle.

Peach Buckle
Serves 6-8

1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
2-3 peaches

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Remove the skin* from the peaches and slice, set aside

Combine the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, sugar, and whole milk and whisk to combine

Place the stick of butter in a cast iron skillet and put in the oven to melt and allow the butter to brown lightly, watch carefully for burning

Remove the skillet from the oven and lightly whisk the batter into the butter - leaving streaks of butter

Place the sliced peaches on top of the batter in a single layer

Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly around the edges

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream

*Plunge the peaches in boiling water for 15-30 seconds, let cool slightly and the skin will slip off
