Peach Butter Swim Biscuits With Vanilla Glaze (Printable)

Buttery biscuits baked in peach-infused butter, topped with sweet vanilla glaze for a perfect breakfast treat.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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:

01 - Preheat oven to 450°F. Place butter in an 8x8-inch baking dish and put in oven to melt while preheating, about 5 minutes.
02 - Remove dish from oven, swirl to coat bottom, and stir in peach preserves to combine with melted butter. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
04 - Pour cold milk into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix—the dough will be wet and shaggy.
05 - Pour biscuit dough directly over peach butter in baking dish. Carefully spread dough evenly to corners.
06 - Using a lightly greased knife or bench scraper, score dough into 9 squares in a 3x3 grid to help biscuits pull apart after baking.
07 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top and set in the center.
08 - While biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
09 - Remove biscuits from oven and cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle vanilla glaze generously over warm biscuits before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The biscuits literally bake themselves in a pool of peach butter creating pockets of fruity sweetness in every bite
  • They come together in about 15 minutes of active work but taste like you spent all morning in the kitchen
02 -
  • Don't overwork the dough when adding the milk or your biscuits will turn out tough instead of tender
  • Scoring the dough before baking is optional but it makes such a difference in how cleanly they pull apart
03 -
  • Let your baking dish heat up with the oven so the butter starts infusing the moment you add the preserves
  • Score the dough deeply almost to the bottom of the pan for the cleanest separation after baking
