Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup peach butter or peach preserves
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Pour the melted butter into an 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
4. Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; avoid overmixing.
5. Spoon the biscuit dough into the baking dish, spreading it gently to fill the dish evenly without mixing it into the butter.
6. Drop spoonfuls of peach butter or preserves over the top and lightly swirl into the dough.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 9 squares and serving warm.
Notes
Don’t overmix the dough — a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Use cold buttermilk to help keep the dough light and fluffy.
Try apricot or mango preserves for a delicious twist if peach isn’t available.
