Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer dessert featuring juicy peaches infused with bourbon and topped with light, flaky buttermilk biscuits. Perfect for backyard barbecues and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 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 cut into cubes
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar as substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice, bourbon, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently to coat evenly. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. Stir in cold buttermilk and sugar just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peaches, leaving small gaps.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Biscuits should have a crisp top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold until last second to ensure flaky biscuits. Avoid overmixing biscuit dough to prevent toughness. If peaches are very juicy, watch biscuits for browning and tent with foil if needed. Let cobbler cool before serving to thicken filling. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend; for dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and buttermilk with plant-based milk plus vinegar.
