Print Recipe

A warm, sweet, and nostalgic peach cobbler featuring caramelized brown sugar peaches topped with fluffy, tangy buttermilk biscuits. Perfect for cozy nights and quick desserts using pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh sliced peaches or 2 cups peach preserves
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine peaches or peach preserves with brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the peach mixture evenly in a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour cold buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture and stir gently with a fork just until combined; dough will be shaggy and sticky.
  6. Drop biscuit dough in large clumps over the peach filling, leaving some gaps.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling bubbles around edges.
  8. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Can substitute buttermilk with milk plus lemon juice or vinegar. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend and xanthan gum.
