Made with just a few pantry staples and a generous swirl of peach preserves, they âswimâ in butter as they bake, creating crisp edges and a soft, rich center.

Ingredients:
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1ž cups buttermilk (or make your own with 1 tbsp lemon juice + milk)
Âź cup peach preserves or peach butter (plus more for serving)
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep the Pan
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the stick of butter in an 8Ă8 or 9Ă9-inch baking dish. Slide it into the oven to melt while you prepare the dough. Keep an eye on itâit should be melted, not browned.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
3. Add Buttermilk & Peaches
Pour the buttermilk into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Swirl in the peach preservesâdonât overmix, you want ripples of peachy goodness throughout the dough. The dough will be sticky and shaggyâthatâs perfect!
4. Pour into Buttery Pan
Carefully remove the hot dish with melted butter from the oven. Pour the biscuit dough directly into the pan over the butter. Use a spatula or wet hands to gently press and spread it into an even layer. Youâll see the butter bubbling up around the edgesâthatâs what gives these biscuits their signature crispy edges.
5. Score Before Baking
Using a butter knife, gently score the dough into 9 squares. This helps portion the biscuits and encourages them to bake up evenly.
6. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 25â30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool Slightly & Serve
Let the biscuits rest in the pan for about 5 minutes. Cut along the scored lines and serve warm with extra peach preserves, a drizzle of honey, or even whipped cream for a dessert-style treat.
Tips for Pinterest-Perfect Results:
Want extra golden tops? Brush with a bit of melted butter or cream before baking.
Swap peach butter with apricot jam, honey butter, or fig preserves for new flavors.
These reheat beautifullyâjust pop them in a toaster oven or microwave for a warm, buttery snack.
