Print Recipe

A quick and rustic peach cobbler featuring a tangy, fluffy buttermilk biscuit topping. This simple recipe uses just five core ingredients to create a crowd-pleasing dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings or busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cans peaches (packed in heavy syrup), drained with 1/4 cup syrup reserved
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drain canned peaches, reserving 1/4 cup of the syrup. Spread peaches evenly in a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour reserved syrup over the fruit.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or forks to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  5. Pour in buttermilk and stir gently with a spatula until the dough is shaggy and sticky. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop large spoonfuls of dough directly onto the peaches in distinct mounds.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the topping is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling vigorously. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice 6-8 peaches and add 2 extra tablespoons of sugar. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use dairy-free butter and almond milk with lemon juice.
