Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
  • Optional: Turbinado sugar for sprinkling
  • Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently and set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut butter into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour cold buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach filling into the greased baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop dollops of biscuit dough over the peaches in the baking dish. The topping can be rustic and uneven.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle turbinado sugar over the biscuit topping for added crunch.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid a soupy filling. Keep butter cold when cutting into flour for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to prevent toughness. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let cobbler rest before serving to thicken filling. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
