A comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches bubbling beneath a golden, flaky buttermilk biscuit topping that stays crispy and flaky.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, cold (or ¾ cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  5. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering the surface with small gaps.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp at the edges; tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Peeling peaches by blanching helps remove skins easily. If peaches are very juicy, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. Chilling biscuit dough for 10 minutes before baking helps it hold shape but is optional.
