 Equipment You’ll Need

• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring cups & spoons
• Rubber spatula
• 8x8-inch baking dish
• Knife & cutting board (for peaches)
• Small bowl (for glaze)
• Cooling rack

 Ingredients

For the Biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups cold buttermilk
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the dish)
• 1 ½ cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained well)
• ¼ cup peach juice or syrup (from canned peaches or fresh purée)

For the Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tablespoons milk
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Pan

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Pour melted butter into an 8x8-inch baking dish, coating the bottom evenly.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in cold buttermilk gently—don’t overmix. Fold in diced peaches and peach juice until just combined.

4. Bake the Biscuits

Pour batter into the buttered pan; the dough will “swim” in the butter. Bake 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and set in the middle.

5. Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

6. Finish & Serve

Drizzle glaze over warm biscuits, slice into squares, and serve immediately.

💡 Tips for Success

• Keep buttermilk very cold for fluffier biscuits.
• Drain peaches well to avoid soggy dough.
• Add a little extra peach puree to the glaze for stronger fruit flavor.
• Best served warm, straight from the oven.

 Variations

• Cinnamon Peach Biscuits – add ½ tsp cinnamon to the batter.
• Peach & Cream – top with whipped cream instead of glaze.
• Tropical Twist – swap peaches for mango or pineapple.
