A warm, comforting peach cobbler featuring a nutty brown butter biscuit crust paired with juicy fresh peaches. Perfect for summer gatherings and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust depending on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned and cooled slightly
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for GF option)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk (room temperature; almond milk works too)

Instructions

  1. Place ½ cup unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently as it melts, foams, then browns (golden color and nutty aroma), about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Toss gently and set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  4. Slowly pour the browned butter into 1 cup of milk or buttermilk, stirring to combine.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined; dough will be sticky.
  6. Transfer the peach filling into a 9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top; dough will spread and bake into a golden crust.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until biscuit crust is golden and peach filling bubbles at edges.
  8. Let cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

[‘Do not walk away while browning butter; stir constantly to prevent burning.’, ‘Keep milk and browned butter cool to avoid greasy or tough dough.’, ‘Mix biscuit dough gently to avoid developing gluten and tough crust.’, ‘Peel peaches easily by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds then shocking in ice water.’, ‘Cornstarch thickens the peach filling to prevent runniness.’, ‘Bake on middle oven rack for even heat; tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.’, ‘If biscuit dough looks dry before baking, brush with a bit of milk.’, ‘Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat in microwave or oven.’, ‘Flavors improve if made a day ahead and reheated before serving.’]
