Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 600g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100g), dark brown sugar recommended
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (180ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  3. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour peach filling into a greased 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over peaches, leaving gaps for syrup to bubble through.
  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Peach filling should be bubbling with caramelized sauce.
  6. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuit layers. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Peeling peaches improves texture and flavor. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend containing xanthan gum. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and almond milk with lemon juice as buttermilk substitute.
