Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 0.75 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon coarse turbinado sugar(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Transfer the peach mixture to the baking dish and bake for 10 minutes to start the juices flowing while you prepare the biscuits.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and baking powder.

  5. 5

    Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  6. 6

    Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract just until a shaggy dough forms; do not overmix.

  7. 7

    Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the hot peach filling and sprinkle the tops with coarse turbinado sugar.

  8. 8

    Bake for 30-35 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
