Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (180ml), cold
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to peel easily. Slice peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture into a cast iron skillet or baking dish and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  4. While peaches bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling until golden brown and nutty aroma appears (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Slowly drizzle browned butter and cold buttermilk into dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Remove peaches from oven. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over peach filling.
  7. Return skillet to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Test biscuits with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  8. Let cobbler cool for 10 minutes on a rack before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning; remove from heat once golden brown and nutty. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep biscuits tender. Fresh peaches are best but frozen can be used if thawed and drained well. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken filling. For extra caramelized biscuit crust, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
