Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (65 g)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (85 g), cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk (180 ml), whole milk preferred
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 5-6 medium peaches. Toss them in a large bowl with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon if using. Let sit for about 15 minutes to macerate and release juices.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using, stirring gently until just combined. Dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  6. Pour the macerated peaches and their juices into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  7. Spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the peaches using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, leaving some gaps.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep it tender. Use cold butter for flaky texture. If biscuits brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Peeling peaches improves texture but can be skipped if using firm peaches. Let peaches macerate to concentrate flavor and reduce watery filling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Vegan version can use plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
