Ingredients:
Peach Filling:
- 3 peaches, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Biscuit Topping:
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons cold vegan butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons vegan buttermilk (see note for making vegan buttermilk)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking dish suitable for two servings.
- In a medium bowl, prepare the peach filling by combining the sliced peaches, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the peaches evenly.
- Transfer the peach mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- In another bowl, prepare the biscuit topping. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the cold, cubed vegan butter and use a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the vegan buttermilk, a little at a time, mixing until a rough dough forms. You may not need to use the full 2 tablespoons.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach filling, spreading it out evenly or arranging it as desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit topping comes out clean.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Note: To make vegan buttermilk, add a small dash of vinegar or lemon juice to 2 tablespoons of plant milk and let it sit for a few minutes until it curdles.
Enjoy!
