Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes (85 g)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, cold (180 ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat evenly. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the Biscuit Topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter. Pour in cold milk and stir just until combined; dough will be slightly sticky.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling and juices evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peaches, leaving some gaps.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling. If topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use cold butter and milk to keep biscuit dough flaky. Don’t overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Score peaches and blanch in boiling water for easy peeling. Adjust sugar based on peach ripeness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Extra cornstarch can help if peaches are very juicy. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free and coconut milk for dairy-free versions.
