A simple recipe for a classic, comforting Southern peach cobbler with a biscuit-style topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen peach slices
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten (for brushing top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peach slices, 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently.
  3. Stir in the 1/2 cup flour until the peaches are lightly coated. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour in the milk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the top of the peach filling. It does not need to cover the entire surface.
  8. Brush the tops of the dough mounds lightly with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • If using frozen peaches, do not thaw them before mixing them into the filling.
  • For a richer topping flavor, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
