Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 15.25-ounce canned diced peaches, drained very well
For the Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in cold salted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; stir until just combined. Fold in drained diced peaches gently.
- Bake the Biscuits: Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Cool slightly.
- Make the Icing: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm biscuits.
Notes
- Drain canned peaches thoroughly to prevent soggy dough.
- Use aluminum-free baking powder for a better rise and flavor.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to keep biscuits tender.
- Best served warm for ideal flavor and texture.
