Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 45 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (to sprinkle on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix gently until peaches are well coated. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  5. Pour cold buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined; dough should be slightly sticky but not wet.
  6. Pour the peach filling into a greased oven-safe baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, leaving gaps for biscuit edges to crisp.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the biscuit topping.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and peach filling bubbles around edges.
  10. Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken and set.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Let peach filling rest before baking to draw out juices. Tent with foil if biscuit tops brown too fast. Adjust cornstarch if peaches are very juicy. Variations include gluten-free and vegan adaptations.
