Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced thick
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for peach filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for peach filling)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for biscuit topping)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter or lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss peeled and sliced peaches with 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons flour. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  5. Add buttermilk and vanilla extract (if using) to the flour mixture. Stir gently just until combined; dough will be sticky and lumpy.
  6. Pour peach mixture with juices into prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, spacing them out but allowing some dough to touch.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

If biscuit topping browns too fast before peaches bubble, tent loosely with foil. Wet spoon slightly to drop sticky dough easily. Peeling peaches is easier by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then ice bath. Let cobbler rest 10 minutes after baking for thicker filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk with vinegar.
