04 -

05 -
Pinch of salt
→ For the cobbler topping
06 -
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
07 -
1/3 cup granulated sugar
08 -
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
09 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 -
7 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into pieces
11 -
2/3 cup buttermilk
12 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously butter a medium-sized baking dish (11 x 7 inch oval, 9 x 9 inch square, or 10 inch skillet options work well).
02 -
Place the sliced peaches in the prepared baking dish. Add brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Spread them out in an even layer.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients, leaving small chunks intact for texture.
04 -
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until a wet dough forms. The dough will be sticky but will thicken as it rests.
05 -
Use two spoons to drop the biscuit dough in clumps over the peaches. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top to create a golden, crunchy finish when baked.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling and the cobbler topping is golden brown.
07 -
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
For a crispier topping, sprinkle additional granulated sugar evenly over the biscuit dough before baking.
