Peach Butter Swim Biscuits (Printable Version)

Buttery biscuits swim in peach-infused butter, baked golden and finished with sweet vanilla glaze.

# What You Need:

→ Peach Butter

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
02 - 3/4 cup peach preserves or peach jam

→ Biscuits

03 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
04 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
07 - 1 1/2 cups cold whole milk

→ Vanilla Glaze

08 - 1 cup powdered sugar
09 - 2 tablespoons milk
10 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 450°F. Place butter in an 8x8-inch baking dish and melt in the oven while preheating for approximately 5 minutes.
02 - Remove dish from oven, swirl to coat bottom with melted butter. Stir in peach preserves until fully combined and set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly blended.
04 - Pour cold milk into dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix—the dough will be wet and shaggy.
05 - Pour biscuit dough directly over peach butter in the baking dish. Carefully spread dough evenly to all corners.
06 - Using a lightly greased knife or bench scraper, score dough into 9 squares in a 3x3 grid pattern to create clean separation lines.
07 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until tops are golden brown and center is completely set.
08 - While biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable consistency is achieved.
09 - Remove biscuits from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle vanilla glaze generously over warm biscuits before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The swim technique creates impossibly tender edges that soak up all that peach butter while staying fluffy inside
  • These come together in under 15 minutes of hands-on time but taste like you spent all morning baking
02 -
  • The dough looks impossibly wet and sticky compared to regular biscuit dough, but this is intentional—it bakes up fluffy and absorbs all that peach butter
  • Dont skip the scoring step before baking, or youll end up having to tear the biscuits apart and lose all those nice crispy edges
03 -
  • Use room-temperature peach preserves for easier swirling into the melted butter
  • Grease your knife with cooking spray before scoring to prevent sticking
