Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk, cold (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Optional garnishes: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling (10 minutes): In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Coat evenly and set aside to macerate.
  2. Make the Biscuit Topping (15 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour mixture until coarse crumbs with pea-sized chunks remain.
  3. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently until dough just comes together. Pat dough into a rough 1-inch thick square.
  4. Preheat the Grill (5 minutes): Heat grill to medium heat (about 350°F). Oil grill grates lightly.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler (5 minutes): Transfer peach mixture to cast-iron skillet. Tear or cut biscuit dough into chunks and arrange loosely over peaches, leaving gaps for steam.
  6. Grill the Cobbler (25-30 minutes): Place skillet on grill, close lid, and cook until biscuit topping is golden and flaky and peach filling bubbles. Rotate skillet halfway through. Test dough with toothpick for doneness.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from grill and let cool 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Don’t overmix dough to avoid tough biscuits. Rotate skillet halfway through grilling to prevent hot spots. Let cobbler rest 10 minutes after grilling to set filling. If biscuit browns too fast, lower heat or move skillet to cooler grill area.
