A warm and comforting bourbon peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a tender, flaky buttermilk biscuit topping. Perfect for seasonal gatherings and easy to prepare in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches) or frozen if out of season
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon (e.g., Maker’s Mark)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches by peeling and slicing them. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid. (About 10 minutes)
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Toss gently and set aside to macerate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In another mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. Pour in cold buttermilk and gently stir until dough just comes together. Do not overmix; dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Pour peach filling evenly into the dish.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling, spacing them out to cover as much surface as possible.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Let cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold for flaky biscuit topping. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Wet spoon with cold water to drop biscuit dough smoothly. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend containing xanthan gum. For vegan, use coconut oil and plant-based buttermilk and omit bourbon or use non-alcoholic vanilla extract.
