Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) sliced peaches in juice, drained with 1/2 cup juice reserved
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2/3 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Do not grease the baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained peaches, 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until well coated. Pour into the ungreased baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and 1/4 cup sugar until no lumps remain.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
  5. Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour-butter mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the dough comes together (it will look shaggy and lumpy).
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peach filling, leaving them in rough mounds (about 8 to 10 drops).
  7. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the biscuit tops if using.
  8. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling thickly around the edges. If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 5-7 minutes.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix the dough. Let cobbler rest 5 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken. Can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking. For fresh peaches, cook filling on stovetop for 10 minutes before adding topping.
