A comforting peach cobbler featuring a nutty brown butter biscuit topping, perfect for cozy nights and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick) for browning
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups cold buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat all the fruit evenly. Set aside.
  2. Bake the Brown Butter (5 minutes): In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir frequently as it foams and browns, releasing a nutty aroma. Once golden brown specks appear, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the Biscuit Dough (10 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Slowly pour in the brown butter and cold buttermilk, stirring gently just until combined; the batter will be sticky.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Pour the peach filling into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, spacing slightly apart.
  5. Bake (30-35 minutes): Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly.
  6. Cool & Serve (10 minutes): Let cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Watch the brown butter closely to avoid burning; remove from heat just before fully browned. Use cold buttermilk and handle dough gently to keep biscuits tender. If peaches are very juicy, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch. Resist spreading biscuit dough too thin; biscuits will puff and merge while baking. Rotate pan halfway through baking if oven has hotspots.
