Peach Buckle Recipe

This beautiful classic makes the perfect summer dessert. You can use fresh or frozen (unsweetened) peaches for this. Do serve it warm with whipped cream, ice cream, pouring cream, clotted cream, or warm custard for a real treat!

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups peeled, pitted, and chopped peaches
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 TBS granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup soft light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large free range egg
  • ¾ cup of buttermilk
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 TBS turbinado sugar

To Serve: (One of these, optional)

  • Whipped Cream
  • Pouring Cream
  • Clotted Cream
  • Ice Cream
  • Warm Custard

Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 350*F. Butter a 10 inch round deep pie dish, or casserole large enough to hold the peaches and topping.
    2. Put the peaches into a bowl and toss them together with the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Let sit while you are making the topping.
    3. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the brown sugar, rubbing it to break down any lumps. Mix all together well. Whisk together the egg, almond extract, and buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture along with the melted butter. Stir together just to combine.
    4. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish/casserole. Top with the chopped peaches and any juices which may have accumulated. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over top.
    5. Bake in the centre of the heated oven for 50 minutes, until golden brown. If you think it is browning too quickly, cover lightly with some aluminium foil. It should be nice and moist when done, not overbaked.
    6. Serve warm spooned into bowls, along with your favourite topping.
