After 5-8 minutes, the butter will start browning—you’ll discover frivolously browned specks start to kind on the backside of the pan and it’ll have a nutty aroma. As soon as browned, take away from warmth instantly and pour right into a shallow bowl. Cowl tightly, place within the fridge or freezer, and chill till strong, about 45 to 60 minutes.

Bake them on a baking sheet. The bake time and yield is determined by their measurement, however bake till the topping is frivolously browned and peach filling bubbles up across the sides.
