Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 medium fresh peaches (about 2.5 pounds / 1.1 kg), ripe but firm
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 tablespoons (16 g) cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch drips.
  2. Prepare the peach filling: Rinse peaches (do not peel). Slice each peach in half, remove pit, and cut each half into 6-8 wedges (about 1/2-inch thick). Place in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Toss gently to coat. Let sit while making biscuit dough.
  3. Make the buttermilk biscuit topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold butter cubes. Cut in with a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Add buttermilk: Pour cold buttermilk into flour-butter mixture. Stir with a spatula just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the cobbler: Pour peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches (about 8-10 large spoonfuls), leaving gaps for bubbling.
  6. Bake: Place dish on the preheated baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until biscuits are deep golden brown and filling is bubbling thickly around edges. If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil for last 10 minutes.
  7. Cool: Remove from oven and let rest on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the biscuit dough. Keep butter and buttermilk cold. Use ripe but firm peaches. Let cobbler rest at least 15 minutes before serving to allow filling to set. Bake on a sheet pan to catch drips.
