A comforting peach cobbler featuring a fluffy buttermilk biscuit topping that is soft yet slightly crisp, paired with warm, syrupy peaches for a cozy dessert experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, cold

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices. Toss with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  4. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  6. Drop dollops of biscuit dough over peaches, leaving small gaps.
  7. Bake on middle rack for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles.
  8. Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
