Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 900g / 2 lbs)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon (e.g., Maker’s Mark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk (240ml)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until well coated and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  5. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized pieces.
  6. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined; dough will be sticky and shaggy.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling. Optionally, sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and peach filling is bubbling.
  9. If topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking.
  10. Let cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Don’t overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent watery filling. Macerate peaches with sugar and bourbon before baking for juiciness. If biscuit topping browns too fast, cover with foil halfway through baking. For dairy-free or gluten-free options, substitute ingredients as suggested.
