A quick and easy peach cobbler featuring fresh peaches and a tender brown sugar drop biscuit topping, perfect for busy weeknights or casual brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and slice 5-6 medium peaches. Toss with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add cold, cubed 6 tablespoons unsalted butter and cut into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour in 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Stir gently until just combined; dough should be sticky but scoopable.
  4. Pour peach mixture with juices into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Drop biscuit dough over peaches in spoonfuls, covering most of the surface but leaving gaps.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling.
  6. Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold until mixing to ensure flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Let peaches macerate with sugar and lemon juice for best flavor. Tent with foil if biscuit topping browns too quickly.
