A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring fresh ripe peaches bubbling under fluffy, buttery buttermilk biscuits. Perfect for summer gatherings and simple enough for any home cook.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or 3/4 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (to brush on biscuits before baking)
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches by peeling and slicing into roughly 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract to the peaches. Toss gently to coat. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
  5. Cut cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  6. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until dough just comes together; do not overmix.
  7. Pour peach filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Drop large spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, not covering every bit.
  9. Brush biscuit dough with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  10. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
  11. Let cobbler cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter very cold to ensure flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If biscuit topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond or oat milk plus vinegar. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend but expect different biscuit texture.
