Peach Butter Swim Biscuits are a delightful Southern-inspired treat featuring tender, flaky biscuits baked in melted butter with juicy diced peaches and a sweet peach-infused batter. Finished with a smooth vanilla glaze drizzled on top, these warm biscuits offer the perfect balance of fruitiness and buttery richness, ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an indulgent snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup canned or fresh diced peaches, drained if canned
  • 1/4 cup peach juice or syrup (from canned peaches or fresh puree)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the biscuits to a golden perfection.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish, coating the bottom and allowing the biscuits to swim in butter as they bake.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt, ensuring even distribution of leavening agents and flavors.
  4. Add Liquids: Stir in the buttermilk and peach juice or syrup into the dry mixture just until combined, then gently fold in the diced peaches to maintain their texture and prevent them from breaking down.
  5. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish and use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the peaches are well distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Score the Dough: Using a knife, lightly score the top of the batter into 9 equal squares without cutting all the way through; this will make it easier to portion the biscuits after baking.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are bubbly with butter and peach juices.
  8. Cool Slightly: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set before glazing.
  9. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if too thick or more powdered sugar if too thin.
  10. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm biscuits and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh peaches in season for the best flavor, or canned peaches drained well.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
  • Let the biscuits cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off immediately.
  • Serve with additional butter or whipped cream for an indulgent touch.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
