Peach Cobbler
Report
The best peach cobbler ever! Filled with fresh, sweet juicy peaches and topped with a fluffy, buttery cake-like topping. A must on the to-do list every summer. Ditch the canned peaches and cake mixes and use this fresh from scratch recipe instead, it's 100 times better!

Ingredients
Peach filling
- 4 lbs fresh peaches (firm but ripe) peeled, cored and sliced thick
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp (8g) cornstarch
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups (200g) cake flour or all purpose flour* (scoop and level to measure)
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 10 Tbsp (143g) unsalted butter, cold and diced into small cubes
- 1 cup (235ml) buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp (8g) granulated sugar, for sprinkling over top
Instructions
For the peach filling
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Butter a 13 by 9 by 2 3/4-inch baking dish then pour peaches into baking dish and toss with lemon juice.
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and the nutmeg.
- Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over peaches then toss to evenly coat, set aside.
For the topping
- If using cake flour sift into a large mixing bowl, if using all-purpose flour just add to bowl (no sifting is necessary). Add 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combined.
- Cut butter into flour with a fork or pastry cutter until it resembles coarse meal then make a well in center of mixture.
- Mix vanilla with buttermilk then pour buttermilk mixture into well in flour and fold and stir with a spoon just until combined (don't over-mix, it should be lumpy).
- Dollop and just lightly spread spoonfuls of the mixture evenly over top of peaches (about 12 dollops across the top).
- Whisk together remaining 2 tsp sugar with 1/4 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over top.
- Bake in preheated oven until topping is golden brown and set and and filling is bubbling, about 40 - 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool several minutes before scooping into bowls. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- *Recipe originally listed as using 3/4 cup cake flour and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, now I either use all of one or the other. Cake flour offers a fluffier softer topping while all-purpose flour is a bit more dense.
