Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.75 cups buttermilk, cold
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon demerara sugar (or granulated sugar for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times. Flatten the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk and use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Reshape the scraps as necessary to make additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk and sprinkle with demerara sugar for a sweet crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, cinnamony peach biscuits with butter, honey, or whipped cream!
