Recipe type: Desserts
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 6 nectarines, pitted and sliced into wedges
  • ¼ cup sugar (plus 3 tbsp)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 75 grams unsalted butter, cold
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp corn flour
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 250 ml whole-fat milk
  • 45 ml bourbon (optional)
Method
  1. Add the nectarines to a large bowl and toss it with 3 tbsp sugar, cornstarch, bourbon, and cinnamon. Mix gently using your fingers and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 190 C / 375 F. Prepare the batter : Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, and add ¼ cup sugar, salt, and butter (cut into small approx 2” squares). Using your fingers, gently rub the butter into the flour mixture until it starts to resemble coarse breadcrumbs.
  3. Slowly add most but not all of the milk into the flour and butter, and mix until it just starts to come together. Add the rest of the milk only if the batter needs it. Don’t overwork; you want it to be thick enough to dollop over the top, not runny like a cake batter.
  4. Add the nectarines to a 6 - 8” baking dish and dollop the batter in teaspoonfuls over the fruit. Don’t worry about gaps and the fruit peeking through, as the batter will spread out when it bakes. Cook for 40 - 45 minutes until golden brown on top and you see the fruit juices bubbling to the surface. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or my personal favourite, sweetened cream cheese.
