A comforting summer dessert featuring juicy peaches infused with bourbon and topped with fluffy buttermilk biscuits, perfect for backyard dinners or porch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit dough)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice approximately 6 cups of ripe peaches. Toss the slices gently with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 3 tablespoons flour, and 2 tablespoons bourbon. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). If using a cast iron skillet, place it in the oven to warm briefly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in 4 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 1/4 cups cold buttermilk just until combined to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  5. Remove hot skillet from oven carefully. Pour peach mixture into skillet, spreading evenly.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peaches, allowing some gaps. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over the top.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly.
  8. Let cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving to thicken juices and set biscuits.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making biscuit topping to ensure fluffiness. Let peach filling rest to macerate and draw out juices. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too fast. You can substitute frozen peaches (thawed and drained) or nectarines. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend and dairy-free buttermilk substitutes.
