Description
Peach Butter Swim Biscuits are tender, buttery drop biscuits baked in melted butter and sweetened with juicy peaches. With crisp edges, fluffy centers, and a hint of vanilla, these easy, one-bowl biscuits make a delicious breakfast, dessert, or anytime treat. Drizzle with optional glaze for an extra sweet finish.
Ingredients
- For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned peaches, drained and diced (or fresh peaches, peeled and chopped)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
- For the Optional Icing:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 450°F (232°C). Place butter in an 8x8 baking dish and put it in the oven until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove dish and set aside.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Assemble: Spread the dough evenly into the hot, buttered baking dish. The butter will rise up around the dough. Lightly score the dough into 9 squares with a knife.
- Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and baked through.
- Optional glaze: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm biscuits before serving.
Notes
- Swap peaches for blueberries, apples, or cherries.
- Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a cozy flavor.
- For a savory version, skip the sugar and peaches and add shredded cheese.
- Top with chopped pecans or walnuts before baking for extra texture.
