Juicy peach slices nestled beneath pillowy clouds of buttery buttermilk biscuits create a comforting and delicious summer dessert. This recipe balances simple ingredients with a tender, flaky biscuit topping and syrupy peach filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced thick
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted (for brushing biscuit topping)
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes (for biscuits)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced fresh peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and all-purpose flour. Toss gently to coat evenly and set aside to macerate.
  2. Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the dish.
  3. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. Add cold buttermilk to the flour-butter mixture and gently stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Dough should be slightly sticky but hold together. Add more buttermilk if too dry.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, allowing some fruit to peek through. Brush biscuit tops lightly with melted butter.
  6. Bake: Place cobbler in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and peach filling is bubbling. Cover loosely with foil halfway through if biscuit tops brown too quickly.
  7. Rest & Serve: Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits; do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If biscuit dough feels too wet, chill for 10 minutes before assembling. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter before baking for a golden crust. Use gluten-free flour and dairy substitutes for gluten-free or dairy-free versions. Fresh peaches preferred over canned for best texture and flavor.
