Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup peach butter
- 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the biscuits do not stick and bake evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optional sugar to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly work the cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, creating the flaky biscuit texture.
- Add Peach Butter and Liquids: Gently stir in the peach butter, then pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Fold the mixture until just combined, careful not to overwork the dough to avoid toughness.
- Shape and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter or cup. Place them close together on the baking sheet for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect buttery melt inside.
Notes
- Keep all ingredients cold for flakier biscuits.
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain tenderness.
- Use fresh or high-quality peach butter for best flavor.
- Press the cutter straight down without twisting to keep layers intact.
- Optional: Brush biscuit tops with melted butter after baking for extra richness and shine.
