Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Servings 9

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh nectarines or peaches sliced thinly, with skins
  • 1 c sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 c flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup buttermilk or 2/3 c milk with 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine fruit slices, 1/2 c sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Place butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring with a spatula to scrape the bottom, cook until butter is nutty and golden. Pour browned butter into a 9x9 baking dish.
  • Combine flour, 1/2 c sugar, baking powder in salt in medium bowl. Add buttermilk or milk/lemon juice mixture into dry ingredients and mix until just barely combined. Use a spatula to scrape batter over butter in dish, and very gently spread evenly over butter without mixing into the butter.
  • Spread nectarines and juice on top of the batter. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm, with ice cream.
