This super simple peach cobbler is made with a fresh peaches and topped with light, cream biscuits. Top with vanilla ice cream for a classic, southern summer dessert!
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients by flattening the cubes into disks. You want the butter to remain in relatively large chunks (about quarter sized).
Slowly drizzle the cream over top, combining with a fork as you go. Using a spatula or bowl scraper, fold the dough over onto itself a few times in the bowl until it comes together into a wet and sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a circle that's between ½ and 1 inch thick.
Using a small biscuit cutter, stamp out about 15-20 round biscuits (re-roll the scraps if needed).
In a small bowl, gently toss together the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon. Then transfer to a baking dish or pie pan.
Arrange the biscuits on top of the peach filling. Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if desired.
Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for 30-40 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream!
