Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Fresh Peaches: Look for ripe peaches that yield slightly when squeezed; they’ll add sweetness and juiciness.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar enhances the natural sweetness of the peaches; adjust according to your taste.
- Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon gives warmth and depth to your cobbler; don’t skip it!
- Buttermilk: This ingredient makes your biscuits tender and flavorful; if you don’t have any, regular milk works too.
- All-Purpose Flour: Essential for both the filling and the biscuit topping; sift it well for lightness.
- Baking Powder: This helps your biscuits rise beautifully; fresh baking powder guarantees fluffy results.
- Butter: Use unsalted butter for richer flavor; cold butter creates flakiness in your biscuits.
- Vanilla Extract: A splash adds a delightful aroma and flavor depth; pure vanilla extract is best.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Peaches: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and slice 6-8 fresh peaches into wedges. In a large bowl, combine them with sugar and cinnamon until coated evenly.
Create the Biscuit Dough: In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cold butter chunks using a pastry cutter until crumbly. Then add buttermilk gradually until combined.
Assemble Your Cobbler: Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish. Spoon dollops of biscuit dough over the top of the peaches until mostly covered. Don’t worry about perfection—rustic is charming!
Bake Until Golden Brown: Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool & Serve Up Happiness: Once baked, allow your peach cobbler with buttermilk biscuits to cool slightly before servings—if you can resist! Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence. For more inspiration, check out this classic strawberry shortcake recipe.
