Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or cornstarch)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml), room temperature
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling (10-15 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and flour. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Brown the Butter for Biscuit Topping (5-7 minutes): Melt the unsalted butter over medium heat in a skillet or small saucepan. Swirl occasionally until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the Biscuit Dough (10 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pour warm brown butter into dry ingredients and stir gently. Slowly add buttermilk, mixing until dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Pour the peach mixture into the prepared skillet, spreading evenly. Dollop biscuit dough over peaches in large spoonfuls, leaving gaps for steam to escape.
  5. Bake (25-30 minutes): Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  6. Cool and Serve (10 minutes): Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep biscuits tender. Macerate peaches with sugar and lemon juice ahead of time for juicier filling. If filling is too runny after baking, stir in a cornstarch slurry and bake a few more minutes. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use browned coconut oil and plant-based milk with lemon juice.
