Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 900g / 2 lbs)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey (e.g., Maker’s Mark)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (115g)
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (180ml)
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, bourbon, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated and syrupy. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter.
  5. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Mix in the buttermilk and honey gently with a spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you don’t have buttermilk, stir 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into 3/4 cup milk and let sit for 5 minutes. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour in the biscuit topping. To keep biscuits flaky, keep butter cold and do not overmix dough. Let cobbler rest 15 minutes before serving to thicken filling. Brush biscuits with melted butter after baking for a glossy top.
