Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen peaches)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing dumplings)

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches by washing, peeling, and slicing about 6 medium peaches into thin wedges (about 1/4 inch thick).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until coated and juices start to release.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup brown sugar.
  5. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour in 1 cup cold buttermilk and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop large spoonfuls of dough evenly over the peach filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
  8. Brush the biscuit dumplings with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  9. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until dumplings are golden brown and peach filling is bubbling.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for tender dumplings. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Peel peaches for smooth texture or leave skins on for rustic feel. Use an oven thermometer to avoid burning dumplings. Let cobbler cool 10 minutes before serving to thicken filling. Tent with foil if dumplings brown too fast.
