Print Recipe

A warm, comforting peach cobbler topped with flaky, nutty brown butter biscuits, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust depending on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup buttermilk (or plain yogurt as a substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Let sit while preparing biscuits.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and position rack in the middle.
  3. Brown the Butter: Place 6 tablespoons unsalted butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat. Swirl frequently until it foams, turns golden brown, and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Make Biscuit Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Pour browned butter into dry ingredients and stir until combined. Add buttermilk and mix gently until just incorporated.
  5. Assemble Cobbler: Transfer peach mixture into baking dish or skillet, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top, spacing them out but allowing some to touch.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and peach filling is bubbly and thickened.
  7. Cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If biscuits brown too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter and plant-based yogurt or milk. Peeling peaches is easier with a quick blanch in boiling water followed by an ice bath.
