Method
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Prepare a 9x9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish by spraying it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and aluminum-free baking powder until well combined.2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- Pour the heavy cream and one teaspoon of the vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until a sticky dough forms. If the batter appears too dry, add a small splash of heavy cream until the desired consistency is reached.2 cups heavy cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Gently fold the well-drained diced peaches into the dough, being careful not to overmix.15.25 ounce can diced peaches
- Place the stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it completely. Pour the melted butter into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.1/2 cup salted butter
- Transfer the biscuit dough into the baking dish, placing it directly on top of the melted butter. Spread the dough out evenly to the edges. Pro tip: Spraying your hands with nonstick spray makes it easier to push the dough around without it sticking to you.
- Use a knife or bench scraper to cut the unbaked dough into 9 even squares. This helps the butter penetrate the dough and makes serving easier later.
- Place the dish on the middle oven rack and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Rotate the dish halfway through. If the tops are browning too quickly, tent the dish with aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. While the biscuits are still warm, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and the remaining half teaspoon of vanilla extract.1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 cup powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk
- Drizzle the icing over the warm biscuits, allow them to cool slightly to set, then slice and serve.
Notes
Ensure your peaches are drained thoroughly to prevent a soggy middle that refuses to bake through. Stick to a glass or ceramic baking dish for the best results, as metal pans can cause the bottom to brown too quickly at such a high temperature.
