Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85 g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (70 g)
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (180 ml) (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice about 6 medium peaches. To peel easily, dip peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water and slip off skins.
  3. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add 6 tablespoons cold cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Stir in 1/3 cup packed brown sugar.
  7. Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly sticky but thick and scoopable.
  8. Pour the peach mixture into a lightly greased 10-12 inch cast iron skillet, spreading evenly.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the peaches, covering as much as possible but allowing some peach to peek through.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the peach filling is bubbling.
  11. Let the cobbler cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

If the topping browns too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For extra juicy peaches, add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch to prevent watery filling. Use cold butter and buttermilk for a tender, flaky biscuit topping. Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for smooth texture. Can substitute gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version and use dairy-free butter and milk alternatives for dairy-free adaptation.
