Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (frozen peaches can be used)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar (dark or light)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) buttermilk (or dairy-free milk with vinegar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the peeled, sliced peaches with 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and spread evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs form with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Stir in buttermilk just until dough comes together; do not overmix.
  7. Drop biscuit dough in 8-10 mounds over the peach filling.
  8. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar over the biscuit topping.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter and avoid overmixing biscuit dough for tender, flaky topping. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Frozen peaches can be used but should be thawed and drained to avoid soggy filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and milk with vinegar.
