A comforting peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a fluffy brown butter buttermilk biscuit topping, perfect for a cozy dessert that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches; use ripe but firm peaches for best texture)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned and cooled slightly
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat all peaches evenly. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach filling into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes to soften the peaches and thicken the juices slightly.
  4. While peaches bake, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Slowly pour in the cooled brown butter and cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined; dough should be shaggy but moist.
  6. Remove the baking dish with peaches from the oven. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling without spreading flat.
  7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through. Biscuits should spring back lightly to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to better monitor color and avoid burning. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep biscuits fluffy. If peaches are extra juicy, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch next time. Tent biscuits with foil if they brown too fast but are raw inside. For dairy-free or gluten-free options, substitute ingredients as suggested in the recipe.
