Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30 g)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and divided (115 g)
  • For the drop biscuit topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (85 g)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk, room temperature (180 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup flour. Toss gently to coat evenly and let macerate for 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the top.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
  5. Add cold butter pieces and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Gradually add milk or buttermilk, stirring just until dough comes together with some lumps remaining. Dough should be soft but not sticky.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, leaving some gaps.
  8. Brush remaining melted butter over the biscuit topping.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the peach filling is bubbling.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep it tender and flaky. Peeling peaches is easier if you blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunge into ice water. If biscuits brown too quickly but filling isn’t bubbling, cover loosely with foil. For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk. Sprinkle coarse sugar on biscuit topping before baking for extra crunch.
