- 6 cups Fresh or frozen sliced peaches
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch

- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar

- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tbsp Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling, optional)
How to make Southern Buttermilk Peach Cobbler
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- **For the Peach Filling:** In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- **For the Buttermilk Topping:** In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender, a fork, or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Drop spoonfuls of the buttermilk topping over the peach filling, leaving some gaps for the peaches to bubble through.
- If desired, sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar for extra crunch and sparkle.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and tender. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. It's delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
