A comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches soaked in brown sugar syrup topped with fluffy, buttery buttermilk biscuits. Perfect for cozy gatherings and simple enough for weeknight baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 baking flour substitute)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk plus 1 teaspoon vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on biscuits

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out juices.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture evenly to a 9-inch square baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  5. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over the peaches, leaving some gaps for rustic topping.
  7. Optionally sprinkle coarse sugar over the biscuit topping.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until peach juices bubble and biscuits are golden brown.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter to ensure flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If peach juices are very watery, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to filling. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly. Peaches can be fresh or frozen (thawed and drained). Lemon juice brightens flavor and balances sweetness. Let cobbler rest before serving to thicken filling.
