Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6–7 medium peaches) – ripe but firm
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) cold buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peach Filling (10 minutes): In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Ensure slices are evenly coated. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Brown the Butter (5-7 minutes): In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir continuously until it foams and turns golden brown with nutty aroma and browned specks. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Make the Biscuit Dough (10 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Pour browned butter into dry ingredients and stir until crumbly. Add cold buttermilk and mix gently until just combined; dough should be slightly sticky but not wet. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Pour peach filling evenly into prepared baking dish. Drop biscuit dough by large spoonfuls over peaches, leaving small gaps for steam.
  6. Bake (25-30 minutes): Bake until biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and peach filling is bubbly. Biscuits should spring back lightly when touched and edges smell caramelized.
  7. Cool and Serve (10 minutes): Let cobbler cool slightly on a wire rack to thicken filling before serving.

Notes

Brown butter carefully over medium heat and stir constantly to avoid burning. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep biscuits tender. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil.
