Print Recipe

A cozy and comforting peach cobbler featuring a rich brown butter peach filling topped with fluffy buttermilk biscuits. This easy homemade dessert combines nutty caramel flavors with tender peaches and soft, buttery biscuits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5 medium peaches) – ripe but firm is best
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for browning)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (adds a subtle caramel note)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (balances sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (to thicken the filling)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, warms the flavor)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for flaky layers)
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold (adds fluffiness and tang)
  • 2 tablespoons brown butter (reserved from filling step, for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brown Butter Peach Filling: Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, about 3–5 minutes. Add sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and stir gently to coat evenly.
  2. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to form a slurry, add to skillet, and cook for 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. Make the Buttermilk Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  5. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir just until combined; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour peach filling into a 9×9 inch oven-safe baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top, leaving gaps for peaches to peek through.
  7. Brush biscuit tops lightly with 2 tablespoons of brown butter.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes until biscuits are puffed and golden and filling bubbles. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly.
  9. Cool cobbler for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. If peaches are extra juicy, add a pinch more cornstarch. Keep butter and buttermilk cold for fluffy biscuits and avoid overmixing dough. Brown butter carefully to avoid burning; swirl pan often. You can prepare peach filling ahead and refrigerate, adding biscuit dough before baking. Tent biscuits with foil if browning too fast.
