Fruit
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and dice fresh peaches into small pieces. Set aside.
- Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together; do not overwork.
- Combine Peaches and Dough: Gently fold the diced peaches into the biscuit dough, ensuring an even distribution without crushing the fruit.
- Shape the Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the peach dough onto a buttered baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with extra butter or honey.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess juice making the dough soggy.
- Butter should be cold to create flaky biscuits.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
- Optionally, add cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
