Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup peach butter
- 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- Milk for brushing
- Sugar for sprinkling
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to create a well-mixed base for the biscuits.
- Cut in the butter: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, combine peach butter, milk (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract, stirring gently until smooth and well blended.
- Combine wet and dry components: Pour the peach butter mixture into the flour and butter blend. Stir gently with a spatula just until the dough starts to come together without overmixing.
- Shape and cut the biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or glass, cut the dough into rounds.
- Bake to perfection: Place the biscuits on a lined baking sheet, optionally brush tops with milk and sprinkle sugar, then bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 12–15 minutes until golden and flaky.
Notes
- Keep ingredients cold: Cold butter and milk help create flaky, tender biscuits.
- Don’t overmix: Stir just until the dough comes together to avoid dense biscuits.
- Fresh peach butter matters: Use high-quality peach butter for best flavor impact.
- Try gentle folding: Fold dough a few times before cutting for layers and flakiness.
- Watch your oven closely: Biscuits bake fast; catch them at golden perfection for a delightful crunch.
