A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring a flaky buttermilk biscuit topping, perfect for showcasing fresh summer peaches in a comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice peaches into ½-inch thick slices. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly butter or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  4. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined; dough should be sticky but hold together.
  5. Pour peach filling into baking dish and dollop biscuit dough over peaches, not covering completely.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling.
  7. Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to thicken and firm the topping.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuit layers and avoid overmixing the biscuit dough to keep it tender. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Extra cornstarch can prevent watery filling. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free ingredients for dietary needs.
