Notes

🍑 Always thaw and drain frozen peaches thoroughly to prevent a soupy cobbler; pat them dry with paper towels if needed.
🧈 Keep the butter ice-cold when cutting it into the flour for the lightest, fluffiest biscuit topping.
⏲️ Let the cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes after baking so the filling sets and doesn’t run when you scoop it.
