Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190g), sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk (180ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice about 6 large ripe peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them gently in a large bowl with 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Make the Biscuit Topping: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sifted flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to work butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Add Vanilla Bean and Milk: Scrape seeds from 1 vanilla bean into the bowl (or add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract). Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk. Stir gently just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour peach mixture into a buttered 9×9 inch baking dish. Drizzle 3 tablespoons melted butter over peaches. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the top.
  6. Bake: Place dish in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly.
  7. Cool Slightly Before Serving: Let cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Peeling peaches is easier if blanched in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunged into ice water. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Leftovers store well in refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking blend. Dairy-free version can use plant-based butter and milk substitutes.
