Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1½ cups buttermilk (or 1½ cups milk + 1 tbsp vinegar as a substitute)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for greasing the pan)
Filling:
- ½ cup peach jam (you can use more to taste)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom completely.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined for even distribution.
3. Add the Buttermilk
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry mixture and stir gently with a spoon or spatula.
- The dough will be soft and sticky—don’t overmix.
4. Layer with Butter
- Pour the remaining ½ cup melted butter into the prepared baking dish.
- Drop the biscuit dough over the butter and gently spread it evenly across the pan.
- Use a buttered knife to score the dough into 9 or 12 squares. This makes them easy to separate after baking.
5. Add the Peach Jam
- Spoon a small dollop of peach jam into the center of each biscuit square.
- Press lightly so the jam stays nestled during baking.
6. Bake
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Don’t skip the butter at the bottom: It creates a crispy base while the inside stays fluffy and soft.
- Use high-quality peach jam for the best flavor. Homemade or organic brands work beautifully.
- Try with fresh peach slices: Add a thin slice of fresh peach on top of the jam before baking for extra texture and flavor.
- Serve warm: These biscuits are best served warm, with extra butter or jam if desired.
