Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided and browned
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir continuously as it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice 4-5 medium peaches. Toss with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and the browned butter. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate and thicken.
  3. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Cut in remaining 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour peach mixture into a buttered 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, covering most of the surface but leaving some peach filling exposed.
  6. Top with Cinnamon Sugar: Mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over biscuit dough.
  7. Bake: Place cobbler in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and peach filling is bubbly and thick.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let cobbler rest for about 15 minutes on a cooling rack before serving.

Notes

If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy filling. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep biscuits tender. Lemon juice brightens peach flavor and prevents dullness. Variations include gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions.
