Learn how to make delicious Peach Cobbler with a Biscuit Topping. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6-7 peaches)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
3/4 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar)
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat the peaches evenly and set aside, allowing the flavors to meld for about 10 minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring even distribution.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering most of the surface. Don’t worry about gaps — the dough will spread as it bakes.
Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top of the biscuits for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. A fond memory of mine is watching the cobbler bubble through the oven window with my siblings, the aroma filling the house with anticipation.
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving, letting the juices thicken slightly.
