This fresh peach cobbler is made with juicy summer peaches and buttery biscuit topping. It's super simple to prepare, and you can easily adjust the sweetness to suit your taste.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 lbs fresh peaches about 7 or 8 medium
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar or more to taste
For the biscuit dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter chilled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon coarse decorating sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and butter a 2-quart baking dish.
Prepare the peaches:
- Peel and pit the peaches and slice them into thin wedges. Toss with the lemon juice and sugar (sugar amount adjustable) and arrange them in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Set aside while you prepare the biscuit topping.
Make the biscuit dough:
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a mixing bowl and combine thoroughly.
- Add the chilled butter and, using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, blend it into the flour until the lumps have disappeared and the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Gradually stir in the milk and combine to make a soft dough.
Assemble and bake :
- Spoon the dough over the peaches and sprinkle with decorating (coarse) sugar if desired. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the dough is golden brown.
- Let the cobbler cool for 20 minutes before serving plain, with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
