Ingredients

Peach Mixture

3 15-ounce cans peaches, drained (reserve ¼ cup of the syrup)
⅓ cup (66-67g) granulated sugar
⅓ cup (70g) brown sugar
1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
1 teaspoon (3g) ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon (1-2g) nutmeg
¼ teaspoon (1g) allspice
2 tablespoons (18g) cornstarch
1-2 tablespoons (14-28g) unsalted butter

Cobbler Mixture

1¼ cups (150g) all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons (7g) baking powder
½ teaspoon (2-3g) salt
1 cup (236ml) buttermilk
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons (20-25g) brown sugar (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃).
In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, cook the drained peaches, ¼ cup reserved juice, granulated and brown sugar, spices, lemon juice, and cornstarch until the sugar dissolves. Stir occasionally until it thickens.
Then, remove it from the heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla, and butter into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Spoon the hot peaches and syrup into the baking dish. Scoop the batter evenly over the peaches. Do not stir.
Sprinkle optional brown sugar over the batter. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly; it's best served warm. It's comfort food at its finest with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

To adjust sweetness: If your peaches are especially sweet or you prefer less sugar, halve the amount of sugar. If you like it extra sweet, add ¼ cup each of brown and granulated sugar.
Chill the dough for a fluffier topping. Optionally, you can chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking. Cold dough puffs up better in the oven, resulting in a fluffier topping.
Always let it rest. Give the cobbler 10-15 minutes to cool before serving. That allows the filling to set, making it easier to scoop and enhancing the flavors.
