    I'm just gonna leave this Biscuit Peach Cobbler Recipe right here. Buttery homemade biscuits on top of sweet fresh peaches, baked in a cast iron skillet until bubbly and hot....topped with creamy vanilla ice cream.

    Biscuit Peach Cobbler in a cast iron skillet

    One of the best things I've ever cooked in a cast iron skillet. This Biscuit Peach Cobbler Recipe.

    First, let me state that there is no "wrong" way to make a peach cobbler.

    Whether you prefer a Cup-Cup-Cup Cobbler (you know, a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, a cup of milk), or a cobbler made with pie pastry lattice, they are all good.

    Strike that. Great.

    The taste of bright and sweet fresh peaches with a slightly salty-savory biscuit topping is a step away from heaven. Buttery and crumbly, a biscuit is happiest sitting on top of peaches.

    But the biscuit does not outshine the peach filling. It compliments the juicy peaches. We stirred our fresh sliced peaches (peel on), with sugar, butter, vanilla, a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of ginger.

    Add a little cornstarch, and let them simmer. Peach magic.

    Be sure to use a well seasoned cast iron skillet that you normally use for baking cornbread.

    You can find great deals at local thrift stores and flea markets on cast iron cookware.

    For Biscuit Peach Cobbler, you can pat out and cut your biscuits if you'd like. Or, do like I did and just plop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top.

    Plop is the culinary term for carefully place the dough wherever you want it.

    Bake the peach cobbler until the peaches are bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through and golden brown.

    For an extra touch, about half way through baking, brush the biscuit topping of your Biscuit Peach Cobbler with reserved peach juice and sprinkle with sugar.

     

    Lord have mercy, ya'll. Biscuit Peach Cobbler.

     

    Look at this! Just look at it! Let the peach cobbler stand before serving for the peach filling to thicken. If you can wait. Hey, if you decide to go in hot, I'm all for it.

    This peach cobbler (as they all are) is best served warm or at room temperature with my personal favorite, vanilla ice cream.

    Have you ever tried making peach cobbler with biscuit dough? What did you think? Please share your recipe ideas, we would love to try them in our own kitchen.

    How great would this be with fresh blueberries or blackberries, too?

    Ingredients
      

    For the Peach Filling

    • 8 fresh peaches washed, pitted and sliced
    • â…” cup sugar
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • ½ scant teaspoon lemon juice
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla
    • ½ teaspoon cornstarch
    • 1 pinch ground ginger
    • 1 pinch salt

    For the Biscuit Topping

    • 1 cup AP flour
    • ¾ cup buttermilk
    • 3 tablespoons reserved juices from peach filling
    • 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into cubes
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon white sugar
    • 2 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    • In a 10 inch cast iron skillet, heat 2 TB of butter over medium heat. Add the peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, ginger, salt. Stir and cook the peaches until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir the cornstarch in a small bowl with a spoon of water. When blended, stir into the peach mixture well. Reduce heat to low and cook and stir for another 5 minutes.
    • While the peaches are cooking, prepare the biscuit topping.
    • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and brown sugar. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
    • Work quickly so the butter does not get soft.
    • Stir in the buttermilk until the dough forms. Spoon over the peaches in the skillet.
    • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the biscuit topping with the reserved peach juice and sprinkle with white sugar. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 - 20 minutes until the biscuits are cooked through.
    • Stand before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

      Looks great and would love to make it, but if I do not have fresh peaches, can I substitute frozen or canned peaches? What would the quantity be? Could other fruit be used?

      What is up with the way this is written?? The ingredients are listed in order of volume, not in order of use like every other recipe in existence. Luckily it turned out okay but was way too hard to follow.

        I am so sorry! When I first started the blog, some of my older recipes I listed ingredients by volume. Now I’ve learned to do it the correct way (in order of when you use them). I’ve been trying to update my old recipes to the correct format but haven’t got to this one yet. Please forgive me. :). Thank you for the feedback, it helps me make the site better.
