Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (or 3/4 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar as substitute)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently and set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar for the biscuit topping.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Add the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a spoon until just combined. The dough should be sticky but not wet. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour the peach filling into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, spacing them apart but allowing some to touch.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit comes out clean. The peach filling should be bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken the filling.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If biscuit tops brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. For thicker filling, add an extra tablespoon of flour before baking. Sprinkle coarse sugar on biscuit tops before baking for extra crunch and sparkle. Fresh peaches provide best texture; frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
