Ingredients
  

Biscuit Base:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk use very cold for best results
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (plus more for brushing if desired)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced peaches fresh or canned, drained well if canned
  • 1/4 cup peach juice or syrup from the canned peaches or fresh puree

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 –2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish, ensuring the entire bottom is coated.
  • Tip: Don’t skimp on the butter—it’s what creates those crispy, golden edges!

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  • Tip: Sift the flour for an even lighter biscuit texture.

Step 3: Add Buttermilk

  • Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
  • Tip: Avoid overmixing to keep your biscuits tender.

Step 4: Fold in Peaches

  • Gently fold the diced peaches into the batter, distributing them evenly.
  • Tip: If using fresh peaches, peel them for a smoother texture.

Step 5: Pour and Drizzle

  • Pour the batter into the baking dish over the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Drizzle the peach juice or syrup over the top.
  • Tip: Do not stir after pouring—this allows the butter to work its magic!

Step 6: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • Tip: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 7: Glaze and Serve

  • While the biscuits are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the warm biscuits right after they come out of the oven.
  • Tip: Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving for a slightly crisp finish.

Notes

  • Cold Buttermilk is Key: Keeps the dough light and fluffy.
  • Peach Prep: Drain canned peaches well or blot fresh peaches to reduce excess moisture.
  • Glaze Variations: Add a touch of cinnamon or almond extract for a flavor twist.
  • Vegan Version: Use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk alternatives.
