Print Recipe

A cozy and easy-to-make fresh peach cobbler featuring a unique cardamom biscuit topping that balances sweet peaches with a floral, warm spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly butter or grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice about 5 large ripe peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch over the peaches. Gently toss to coat thoroughly.
  4. Transfer the peaches and their juices evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom.
  6. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  7. Stir in 3/4 cup whole milk (or buttermilk) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  8. Drop large spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much as possible but leaving some gaps.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the biscuit dough for added crunch.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling.
  11. Let the cobbler cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid soggy topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep it tender and flaky. Cold butter is essential for flaky biscuit layers. Fresh ground cardamom enhances aroma and flavor. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Let cobbler rest before serving for best texture.
