Let’s dive into how to make these heavenly biscuits step by step.

✔ Versatile – Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or as a standalone treat.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder (for maximum rise)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (balances the saltiness)

1 teaspoon salt (enhances flavor)

1 ½ cups buttermilk (makes them extra tender)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted (the “swim” part!)

1 ½ cups diced peaches (canned or fresh, drained if using canned)

¼ cup peach juice or syrup (from canned peaches or fresh puree)

For the Glaze (Optional but Recommended!):

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons peach juice or milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

In a 9×9-inch baking dish, pour the melted butter and swirl to coat the bottom.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

Flour

Baking powder

Sugar

Salt

3. Add Wet Ingredients

Pour in the buttermilk and peach juice, stirring until just combined (don’t overmix—some lumps are fine!).

Gently fold in the diced peaches.

4. Pour & Bake

Transfer the batter into the buttered baking dish—it will look like a thick, lumpy dough.

Spread it evenly, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Make the Glaze (Optional)

While the biscuits cool slightly, whisk together:

Powdered sugar

Peach juice or milk (add gradually for desired consistency)

Vanilla extract

Drizzle over warm biscuits for extra sweetness.

Tips for the Best Peach Butter Swim Biscuits

🔹 Use Cold Buttermilk – Helps keep the butter from melting too soon, creating flakier layers.
🔹 Don’t Overmix – A few lumps are fine; overworking the dough makes biscuits tough.
🔹 Fresh vs. Canned Peaches – Fresh peaches should be peeled and diced small; canned peaches should be well-drained.
🔹 Double the Glaze – If you love extra sweetness, make more glaze for dipping!

Variations & Serving Ideas

Flavor Twists:

🍯 Honey Butter Drizzle – Swap the glaze for warm honey butter.
🍁 Cinnamon-Spiced – Add 1 tsp cinnamon to the dry mix for a cozy flavor.
🍓 Mixed Berry – Replace peaches with strawberries or blueberries.

How to Serve:

Breakfast: With a dollop of whipped cream.

Brunch: Alongside fried chicken for a sweet-savory combo.

Dessert: Warm with vanilla ice cream (à la peach cobbler!).

Why These Are Called “Butter Swim” Biscuits

Traditional butter swim biscuits get their name from the pool of melted butter they bake in, creating a crispy, buttery crust while keeping the inside soft. Adding peaches takes them to the next level—sweet, juicy, and utterly addictive!
