Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 750 grams) or frozen peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 grams), sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85 grams), browned and cooled
  • 2/3 cup whole milk or buttermilk (160 ml), room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until peaches are evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
  2. Bake the Filling Base: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Set aside.
  3. Brown the Butter: In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Cook, swirling occasionally, until butter foams and turns light amber with a nutty aroma (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Make the Biscuit Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly pour in browned butter, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring gently until just combined. Dough will be sticky; avoid overmixing.
  5. Top the Cobbler: Drop dollops of biscuit batter over the peach filling using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Some peaches may peek through.
  6. Bake the Cobbler: Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let cobbler cool at least 15 minutes before serving to thicken filling. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Watch the brown butter closely to avoid burning; remove from heat as soon as it turns amber with a nutty aroma. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep topping tender. If biscuit dough is too thick to drop, add a splash more milk. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained to avoid watery filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, use browned coconut oil and plant-based milk.
