Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches; frozen peaches work too, just thaw and drain)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or 3/4 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • Optional: Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar for sprinkling on top
  • Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a spatula until just combined; batter should be thick and slightly sticky.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter over the peach filling, leaving some gaps.
  8. Sprinkle turbinado or coarse sugar on top if using.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit comes out clean.
  10. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuit topping. Let peach filling rest to thicken. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend and xanthan gum. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and buttermilk with almond milk plus apple cider vinegar.
