Print Recipe

A simple and comforting summer dessert featuring juicy fresh peaches topped with fluffy, buttery buttermilk biscuits that soak up the sweet peach juices perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust depending on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 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 granulated sugar
  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar for sprinkling on biscuits before baking (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Stir gently until well coated. Set aside to macerate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  4. Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop dollops of biscuit dough over the peaches, allowing some peaches to peek through.
  8. Sprinkle the biscuit tops with turbinado sugar if using.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The peach filling should be bubbling.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If peaches brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Dough should be sticky but not overmixed to keep biscuits tender. You can prepare biscuit dough up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, use plant milk with vinegar and vegan butter.
