A warm and comforting bourbon peach cobbler topped with flaky buttermilk biscuits, perfect for cozy evenings and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat evenly. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add cold butter cubes and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits form.
  4. Slowly stir in cold buttermilk until dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out 8–10 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass. Re-roll scraps as needed.
  6. Pour peach filling into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Arrange biscuits on top, leaving small gaps between them.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes until biscuit tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  8. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Let peach filling sit to release juices. Avoid overmixing biscuit dough to prevent toughness. Tent foil if biscuits brown too fast. Rest cobbler 15 minutes before serving to thicken filling. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend. Bourbon can be omitted or replaced with apple juice or peach nectar.
