Notes
This fluffy sourdough peach cobbler combines juicy peaches with a soft sourdough batter that bakes up golden and crisp around the edges. The long fermentation gives the cobbler extra depth of flavor while keeping the texture light and tender. This recipe works well with active sourdough starter or sourdough discard and can be made with fresh, frozen, or canned peaches. For best results, use ripe summer peaches and a preheated cast iron skillet to create crispy buttery edges. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them first to prevent excess liquid. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream for a classic Southern-style dessert. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to one week and reheated before serving.
Sourdough peach cobbler is a southern classic that's practically built for the Homestead Kitchen.
