Biscuit Topping:

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup (120ml) cold buttermilk
• Egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk or buttermilk
• Optional: 2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions: Cobbler Magic in a Few Steps

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish (or your favorite 3-4 quart dish). Time to get peachy!
2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, mix those juicy peaches with brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Spread the mixture into your greased dish. Get ready for the first sneak peek—bake it for 10 minutes.
3. Get Your Biscuit On: While the peaches are getting cozy in the oven, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like tiny buttery peas. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until it just comes together in a sticky dough. Yum!
4. Assemble the Dream Team: Grab handfuls of dough, flatten them into little rustic patties, and drop them all over the peach filling. Leave a few gaps for that steamy goodness to bubble through.
5. Golden Goodness: Brush the top with egg wash, then sprinkle on some cinnamon-sugar for that sweet, crunchy finish.
6. Bake & Wait (But Just a Little): Bake for 40-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peachy syrup is bubbling up. The hardest part? Waiting the five minutes it takes to cool before diving in.
