Nectarine Cobbler

4.6

(39)

A sweet summer treat that comes together quickly (nectarines rarely need peeling). You may want to serve ice cream alongside, but some softly whipped cream is also delicious.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

Filling

4 pound nectarines, cut into wedges
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup unbleached all purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Topping

2 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking power
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chilled buttermilk
Vanilla ice cream

Preparation

  1. For filling:

    Step 1

    Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Mix all ingredients in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Bake 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare topping:

    Step 2

    Mix flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Using fingertips, rub in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg and buttermilk; stir until batter forms.
