Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium peaches)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, bourbon, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  3. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  5. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or forks to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  6. Slowly pour in the cold buttermilk and gently stir with a wooden spoon just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, allowing gaps for the dough to spread as it bakes.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use cold butter and buttermilk for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Cornstarch is essential for thickening the peach filling. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well. Substitute bourbon with apple juice or peach nectar for alcohol-free version.
