Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, combine peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss gently until well coated. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the peach mixture into an 8×8 inch oven-safe baking dish, spreading evenly.
  3. Brown the butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Make the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pour the browned butter into the dry ingredients along with buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined; dough should be sticky but cohesive.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, covering most of the surface but leaving some peaches exposed.
  6. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through and the peach filling is bubbly. Tent loosely with foil halfway through baking if topping browns too fast.
  7. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

If peaches are overly juicy, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch to prevent runny filling. For a crispier top, brush biscuits lightly with melted butter before baking. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Browning the butter is key for nutty flavor in the topping. Let cobbler rest before serving for cleaner slices.
