Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine peeled and sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are fully coated. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to a 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet, spreading evenly across the bottom.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls over the peach filling, covering as much as possible.
  8. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

If biscuits brown too fast, tent skillet with foil halfway through baking. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Keep butter and buttermilk cold for tender biscuits. Let cobbler rest before serving to thicken filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. Buttermilk can be substituted with milk plus lemon juice or vinegar.
