Peach, Fennel and Pistachio Cobbler with Lavender Creme Anglaise

I think cobblers are such underrated puddings - what’s not to love about sticky, syrupy fruit with a light and gooey sponge which soaks up all the fruit juices, a crispy topping and a creamy, rich custard on the side. I added fennel seeds because they go so well with peaches and the crunchy pistachios added more texture too. Adding some lavender to the vanilla custard is a complete game changer - it just gives a slightly floral hint which worked really well with the other flavours. Not the most refined of puddings, but definitely one of the tastiest.
