Peach Butter Swim Biscuits 🍑🥞 | A Southern-Inspired Comfort Bake

Want bakery-worthy results? Keep these tips in mind:

  • Use ripe but firm peaches. Too soft and they’ll get mushy, too unripe and they won’t bring enough sweetness.
  • Don’t overmix the batter. The less you stir, the fluffier your biscuits will be.
  • Score before baking. This helps the biscuits rise evenly and gives you neat squares to slice later.
  • Serve warm. These biscuits are at their absolute best fresh from the oven with the butter still sizzling at the edges.

Delicious Variations to Try

These biscuits are versatile, so don’t be afraid to get creative:

  • Cinnamon Sugar Peach Biscuits: Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet, spiced crust.
  • Peach and Cream Cheese Biscuits: Swirl small dollops of cream cheese into the batter along with the peaches for a tangy, creamy surprise.
  • Peach Bourbon Biscuits: Add a tablespoon of bourbon to the batter for a grown-up twist.
  • Mixed Fruit Biscuits: Swap half the peaches with berries (like blueberries or raspberries) for a colorful blend.
  • Glazed Biscuits: Drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze once cooled for extra sweetness.

FAQs About Peach Butter Swim Biscuits

1. Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Yes! Just make sure they’re well-drained so the batter doesn’t get too wet.

2. Do I need to peel the peaches?
It’s optional. The skins soften during baking, but if you prefer a smoother texture, peel them before dicing.

3. What if I don’t have buttermilk?
No problem. Make a quick substitute by mixing 1 Âľ cups milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes before using.

4. Can I make these savory instead of sweet?
Absolutely! Leave out the sugar and peaches, then add shredded cheese, herbs, or even bacon for a savory version.

5. How do I reheat them without drying out?
Wrap biscuits in foil and warm in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes. They’ll taste just like fresh!
