Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 medium peaches, peeled
1 ounce finely chopped crystallized ginger (optional)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt (Alton likes Kosher salt)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
whipped cream (optional) or ice cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 350°F.
  • Put 1/2 Tbsp of butter in bottom of each 6 oz ramekin. (4 ramekins).
  • Melt the remaining Tbsp of butter and set aside.
  • Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of Brown Sugar into each ramekin.
  • Cut each peach into pieces and evenly divide the pieces in the 4 containers. Sprinkle with ginger if used.
  • In a mixing bowl combine flour, soda, powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl combine melted butter, sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir to combine. (Some lumps are expected! Don't over stir.).
  • Pour the batter over the peaches, splitting it up evenly between the dishes.
  • Bake on middle rack for 20-25 minutes Alton says the internal temp should reach 190F, but we didn't get there and it was still wonderful.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes Then use a knife to free the batter from the sides of the ramekins and turn upside down on a plate or bowl.
  • Add ice cream or whipped cream and serve.
