Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, toss 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Transfer the peach mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Step 4: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in 1/4 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 5: Stir in 1/2 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract just until combined to form a soft dough.
- Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
- Step 7: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over the biscuit topping for a sweet crust.
- Step 8: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through, and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Step 9: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
