Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 900 grams)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (16 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100 grams)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113 grams), cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (180 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off the skin. Slice peaches into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
  5. Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut in using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter bits.
  6. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract just until combined; do not overmix.
  7. Pour the peach filling into a buttered 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  8. Dollop the biscuit topping over the peaches in spoonfuls, covering as much as possible but leaving some peaches visible.
  9. Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and peach juices are bubbling.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

If topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. For very ripe peaches, reduce cornstarch to 1 tablespoon to avoid overly thick filling. Use cold butter and avoid overmixing biscuit dough for flaky topping. Glass or ceramic baking dishes recommended for even heat distribution. Can bake in cast iron skillet for crispier edges. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free baking mix. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and plant-based milk with vinegar.
