A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a flaky buttermilk biscuit topping, perfect for summer gatherings and comforting desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 6 medium peaches), peeled and pitted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 6 medium peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss them in a large mixing bowl with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir gently until peaches are evenly coated. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with the oven rack in the center.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cut 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or forks to blend butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter visible.
  5. Pour 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the flour-butter mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach mixture with all its juices into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches in rough, uneven mounds.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and cooked through, and peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Extra cornstarch can be added if peaches are very juicy. Brush biscuit topping with melted butter for a crispier crust.
