A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a flaky, buttery buttermilk biscuit topping, perfect for summer gatherings and cozy treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, cold

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  5. Pour the cold buttermilk into the mixture. Gently stir with a spoon until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the peach filling is bubbly and thickened.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If biscuit topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Peeling peaches is easier by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunging into ice water. Use frozen peaches if fresh are unavailable, but drain excess liquid. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
