Description
This Cast Iron Skillet Peach Cobbler is so tasty and one of my favorite Summer desserts. Juicy, fresh peaches meet fluffy biscuit cobbler topping with cinnamon and sugar. Pair it with vanilla ice cream and you'll be in heaven!
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled
- 6-8 fresh yellow peaches, rinsed and dried
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water
- 1 and 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup full fat buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and cut peaches into equally sized slices.
- Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet. Pour the butter into a small bowl and set aside. Add the peaches into the skillet with lemon juice. Cook over medium low heat for about 5 minutes, until the juices start to release, stirring frequently.
- After the five minutes, stir in brown sugar. Whisk cornstarch and water until completely combined and pour into the peaches. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Then, turn off the heat completely.
- In large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar.
- Pour in buttermilk and cooled melted butter. Use an icing spatula or spoon to gently mix the dough until just combined.
- Gently add small cookie sized dollops of dough over the peaches in the skillet. You want them sitting on top of the peach layer. Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the biscuit dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the biscuit are cooked all the way through with no raw dough.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes, then scoop into dessert bowls. I love adding a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream to top them. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The cornstarch needs to be mixed with the water until smooth, so that no chunks are in the peaches.
- Try to peel just the skin layer off the peaches leaving as much of the flesh as possible.
- Don't leave the buttermilk on the countertop for too long. It's best when mixed in very cold.
- Avoid over mixing the dough for the cobbler.
