Description
A quick and comforting peach cobbler featuring a tender, flaky buttery biscuit topping, perfect for busy weeknights and adaptable with fresh or frozen peaches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups (900g) sliced peaches (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (2g) cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Let sit while preparing biscuit topping.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk (or buttermilk) and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, spacing out but covering most of the fruit.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
- Let cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Use fresh or frozen peaches; thaw and drain frozen peaches before use. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. Can prepare filling and topping a day ahead and refrigerate separately. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend.
