Description
A simple and comforting summer dessert featuring juicy fresh peaches topped with soft, sweet brown sugar biscuits. Perfect for quick preparation and crowd-pleasing gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar (150 g)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (170 g)
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk (240 ml)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add milk or buttermilk and vanilla extract; stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture with juices into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over peaches, leaving gaps for juices to bubble through.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices bubble. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if biscuits brown too fast.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For a crispier biscuit top, brush with melted butter before baking. Use a baking sheet under the dish if peaches are very juicy to catch drips. To peel peaches easily, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunge into ice water. Avoid overmixing biscuit dough to keep topping tender. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
