Soft Peach Butter Swim Biscuits are tender, flaky biscuits with a luscious homemade peach butter that swims into every crumb, perfect for a sweet brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large fresh ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Peach Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally and simmer for 15-20 minutes until peaches soften and mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. Stir in cinnamon and butter until melted. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Cut in the Butter: Add cold cubed butter to flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; dough will be sticky. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn Out and Fold: Lightly flour work surface and turn dough out. Fold dough over itself 3-4 times to build layers. Pat dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Cut Biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or glass rim, press straight down without twisting. Place biscuits close but not touching on prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Serve Warm: Let biscuits cool 5 minutes, then spoon generous peach butter over each biscuit and serve immediately.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Simmer peach butter gently to prevent scorching. Dough can be chilled briefly before cutting for easier handling. For gluten-free, use 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and buttermilk with almond milk plus lemon juice.
