A quick and comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy fresh peaches and a light, fluffy buttermilk biscuit topping that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or cardamom

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Let sit while preparing biscuit topping.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Cut cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  5. Pour cold buttermilk into the flour and butter mixture and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour peach mixture into an oven-safe 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving gaps so peaches peek through.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbly.
  9. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the biscuit topping; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast.
  10. Let cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving to thicken juices.

Notes

Use cold butter to create steam pockets for a fluffy biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Optionally sprinkle coarse sugar on biscuit topping before baking for added crunch. Score peaches and blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to peel easily. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free baking blend and use dairy-free milk alternatives.
