Gordon Ramsay Peach Cobbler Recipe

This warm, bubbling gordon ramsay peach cobbler recipe is made with fresh peaches, buttermilk, and vanilla and ready in 1 hour and 5 minutes. The golden biscuit crust breaks apart to reveal sweet syrupy fruit underneath. I love making this whenever summer stone fruit is at its absolute best.

Why This Classic Works

I used to think cobbler toppings were always too dense or soggy, until I started using cold cubed butter. The buttermilk creates a tender crumb that absorbs just enough of the fruit juices without losing its structure.

The real surprise was adding a touch of lemon juice to the filling to balance the sweetness. It keeps the dish from tasting flat and highlights the natural flavor of the fruit.

gordon ramsay peach cobbler recipe Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
• 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

For the Topping:

• 190g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 65g (1/3 cup) granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 115g (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 120ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk

How To Make gordon ramsay peach cobbler recipe

1. Prepare the peaches: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch until fully coated.
2. Transfer to dish: Pour the peach mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Cut in the butter: Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add the buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until a soft dough forms.
6. Top and bake: Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach filling. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.

Recipe Tips

• Use cold butter: Cold butter creates pockets of steam in the oven, ensuring a flaky and light biscuit topping.
• Peel the peaches: While you can leave the skin on, peeling them prevents chewy textures in the final dish.
• Let it rest: Allowing the baked cobbler to sit for 15 minutes before serving helps the syrupy filling thicken.

What To Serve With Peach Cobbler

A generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream is the ultimate pairing for the warm fruit. You can also serve it with a drizzle of heavy cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.

How To Store

Keep leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the whole dish in the oven to restore the topping crispness. You can also freeze it securely for up to 2 months.

FAQs

Can I use canned or frozen peaches?

Yes, if using canned, drain them well. If using frozen, thaw them first and drain any excess liquid to avoid a watery filling.

Why is my cobbler watery?

This usually happens if the peaches were overly juicy or the cornstarch was not mixed thoroughly. Letting it cool slightly also helps the juices set.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

You can prepare the dry ingredients and cut in the butter a day in advance. Keep it in the fridge until you are ready to add the buttermilk and bake.
