Description
A warm and comforting peach cobbler made with fresh peaches and a buttery biscuit topping that’s perfect for summer gatherings or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
- Fresh peaches – 6–8 medium peaches (about 3–4 cups sliced)
- Granulated sugar – 1 cup, divided
- Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
- Cornstarch – 1–2 tablespoons
- Ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – ¼ teaspoon
- Unsalted butter – 6 tablespoons, cold for topping + 2 tablespoons melted for filling
- All-purpose flour – 1 ½ cups (for topping)
- Baking powder – 1 tablespoon
- Buttermilk – ¾ cup
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
- Optional: turbinado sugar or sanding sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a deep cast-iron skillet with a little butter.
- Peel (optional), pit, and slice the peaches into ½-inch slices. Toss them with ½ cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Let sit 10–15 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1–2 tablespoons cornstarch over the peach mixture and toss to combine. Spoon into the prepared dish and drizzle any remaining juices over the top.
- Whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, the remaining ½ cup sugar, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter until crumbly.
- Add ¾ cup buttermilk and fold gently until the dough just comes together. Drop spoonfuls of dough over the peach mixture.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with extra melted butter and sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling thickly at the edges.
- Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For a nice crunch, use turbinado or sanding sugar on top. If peaches are juicy, increase cornstarch to thicken the filling.
