Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Peach Filling:
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, salt, and lemon juice. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens slightly and the peaches are coated in a glossy syrup. Pour into a greased baking dish.
-
Make the Biscuit Topping:

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the cubed butter and crumble it with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients:
-
Mix buttermilk with vanilla extract, then pour into the dry mixture. Stir gently until combined — the dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
-
Assemble the Cobbler:
-
Scoop the dough over the peach filling, spreading gently to cover most of the surface. Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top for a sweet crunch.
-
Bake:
-
Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
-
Serve:

Let it cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
