Print Recipe

A warm and comforting peach cobbler made with nutty brown butter and topped with fluffy cinnamon biscuits, perfect for cozy gatherings and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir frequently until it foams and turns a rich amber color with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes).
  3. Add sliced peaches, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the browned butter. Stir gently and simmer for about 5 minutes until peaches soften and release juices.
  4. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water to make a slurry, then stir into the peach mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Cut in the cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  7. Add cold buttermilk and stir gently just until dough comes together; it will be sticky. Add more buttermilk if too dry, but do not overmix.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling in the skillet.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and peach filling bubbles around edges.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning; remove from heat once nutty aroma appears. Use cold butter and buttermilk for flaky biscuits. Tent with foil if biscuit topping browns too quickly. Ripe but firm peaches give best texture. For frozen peaches, reduce lemon juice and add extra cornstarch. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes to keep biscuit crisp.
