Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice about 4 cups of ripe peaches. Toss them in a bowl with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (if using), and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a light-colored skillet over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the butter foams and turns a deep amber color with nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  4. Pour the warm brown butter into the dry ingredients and stir to coat. Add 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Pour the peach filling evenly into the dish.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to better monitor color changes. Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep it tender. Macerate peaches to release juices and thicken filling. Tent with foil if biscuit crust browns too quickly. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and buttermilk with almond milk plus lemon juice. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend with xanthan gum.
