Print Recipe

A comforting summer dessert featuring fresh peaches topped with fluffy brown sugar biscuits, combining sweet, buttery flavors with a tender biscuit crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or whole milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 mins)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat and set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Pour peach mixture with juices into a 9×9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  6. Pour cold buttermilk into flour mixture and stir gently until just combined; dough will be sticky and soft.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peach filling, covering as much surface as possible but leaving gaps for steam.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles around edges.
  9. Let cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If biscuits brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Peeling peaches is optional; skins add rustic texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
