A warm, comforting peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches and a tender brown sugar drop biscuit topping that is quick and easy to make, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • ¾ cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk; dairy-free alternatives like oat milk for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 6 medium-sized ripe peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a large bowl with ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter and cut into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-size bits of butter.
  4. Stir ¾ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the flour mixture. Mix gently just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the peach mixture, including juices, into a 9×9-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter evenly over the peaches.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is puffed and golden brown and peach juices are bubbly. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit batter to avoid toughness. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Use fresh peaches for best flavor; frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For thicker peach syrup, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch or 2 tablespoons flour to peach mixture. For vegan version, use plant-based butter and dairy-free milk, and substitute maple syrup for sugar.
