Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups canned or fresh diced peaches (drained if canned)
1/4 cup peach juice or syrup (from canned peaches or fresh puree)
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Pour melted butter into an 8x8-inch baking dish.
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
-
Stir in buttermilk just until combined—don’t overmix.
-
Gently fold in the diced peaches.
-
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Drizzle the peach juice or syrup evenly on top.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
-
While baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth.
-
Once biscuits are done, drizzle the glaze over them while still warm. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Swap in nectarines or apricots when peaches aren't in season.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry mix for a cozy variation.
For a dessert-style treat, top with ice cream or whipped cream.
DIY buttermilk: Mix 1 1/2 cups milk with 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar.
Store at room temp (2 days) or in the fridge (5 days). Reheat in the microwave or oven.
