Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen sliced peaches, thawed and drained)
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • ¾ cup cold buttermilk (or ¾ cup milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Peel and slice about 6 large peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices. Toss them in a large bowl with ½ cup packed dark brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Stir gently until evenly coated and set aside to macerate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubes and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Pour in ¾ cup cold buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional). Stir gently with a fork or spoon just until the dough comes together; it will be sticky and shaggy. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top of the peaches, leaving some gaps for the biscuit to spread.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the dough comes out clean. The peach juices should be bubbly and thickened around the edges.
  7. Let the cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the peach juices to thicken further.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit layers. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Macerate peaches while preparing topping for better flavor. Tent with foil if biscuit browns too quickly. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers reheat best in oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain flakiness. Can substitute gluten-free flour or dairy-free ingredients as needed.
