Ingredients for Peach Cobbler:

    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • For the Biscuit Topping:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
    • 1/4 cup boiling water

Directions for Homemade Peach Cobbler:

Preparing the Peach Filling:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Making the Biscuit Topping:

  1. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour the boiling water into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.

Assembling and Baking the Cobbler:

  1. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches in the baking dish, covering the surface as evenly as possible.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  3. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
