Peach Butter Swim Biscuits are a delightful Southern-style biscuit enhanced with juicy peaches and soaked in melted butter during baking. These tender, golden-edged biscuits feature a moist center packed with peach flavor and are finished with a smooth vanilla glaze, making them an irresistible choice for breakfast, brunch, or a fruity dessert treat.

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups canned or fresh diced peaches (drained if using canned)
  • 1/4 cup peach juice or syrup (from canned peaches or fresh puree)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Butter: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Pour the melted unsalted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish to create a buttery base that will soak into the biscuits as they bake.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir them together until evenly distributed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Peaches: Stir in the buttermilk and peach juice or syrup to the dry ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the diced peaches to evenly distribute them within the batter.
  4. Assemble Batter in Dish: Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring to maintain a layered texture where the biscuits will ‘swim’ in butter.
  5. Bake the Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. This ensures a crisp outside with a moist peach-filled center.
  6. Prepare Glaze: While the biscuits cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed), and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm biscuits, allowing it to slightly soak in. Serve the Peach Butter Swim Biscuits warm or at room temperature for maximum flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use very ripe fresh peaches for the brightest flavor, or canned peaches for convenience; make sure to drain canned peaches well.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more or less milk depending on your desired consistency.
  • Store leftover biscuits covered at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
