Peach Buckle

From Martha Bakes

Ingredients 

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 3 medium ripe peaches, halved, pitted and sliced 1/4-inch-thick
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• Pinch fine sea salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons fine sanding sugar
• Whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

                       

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

                        

Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, preferably enameled, over medium heat.

                        

Meanwhile, place peaches in a large bowl and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.

                        

In another large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add remaining 1 cup granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla; whisk until well combined. Whisk in melted butter. Pour mixture into skillet and top with peaches. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.

Bake until top is golden brown and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream, if desired.
