How to Make Peach Butter Swim Biscuits
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Cut in the cold salted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the drained diced peaches carefully to distribute evenly without breaking them up too much.
Step 2: Bake the Biscuits
Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Make the Icing
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and remaining ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the icing generously over the warm biscuits.
