Prep checklist
Peach — ripe, thick wedges
Butter — cold, cubed
4 steps
Method
1
Toss peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, and lemon; into the dish and into a 190°C oven for 10 minutes to start the juices.
10 min — timer available in cooking mode
2
Biscuit topping: rub cold butter into flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to rubble; stir in buttermilk to a soft shaggy dough.
3
Dollop rough clouds over the hot fruit (gaps are correct — juices need chimneys), sprinkle cinnamon sugar, and bake 28–32 minutes to golden-bubbling.
30 min — timer available in cooking mode
4
Rest 20 minutes. Vanilla ice cream is constitutionally required.

Chef's notes
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Covered at cool room temperature 2 days, or refrigerated up to 5.
Freezing
Most baked desserts freeze well for 2 months, tightly wrapped.
Reheating
Most baked desserts revive in a 150°C oven for 5–8 minutes. Custards and mousses are served cold — never reheat.
Make ahead
Almost every dessert here is better made a day ahead — flavors settle and textures set. Add crisp toppings just before serving.
Wine pairing
A small glass of something sweeter than the dessert itself.
Beer pairing
An imperial stout alongside chocolate is a genuinely great pairing; otherwise coffee.
