🍑 Peach Butter Swim Biscuits Recipe
🍽️ Servings: 9 biscuits
⏱️ Time: 10 min prep + 25 min bake
🧂 Ingredients:
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup peach preserves or peach butter (plus more for serving)
🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish (or cast iron skillet).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Add Buttermilk
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.
4. Swirl in Peach
- Gently fold in the peach preserves. You can fully mix it or swirl it lightly for a marbled effect.
5. Transfer to Pan
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- You’ll see the butter rise up the sides — that’s the “swim” part!
6. Score & Bake
- Lightly score the batter into 9 squares (this helps them bake evenly).
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
- Serve warm with more peach butter, honey, or whipped cream.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
- Drizzle with a glaze (powdered sugar + milk + a touch of vanilla).
📝 Tips:
- No buttermilk? Use 1 ½ cups milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar (let sit for 5–10 minutes).
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a cozy flavor.
- You can substitute apple butter, fig jam, or apricot preserves for a twist.
