Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your cast-iron skillet on the stovetop and melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
  2. Add the sliced peaches to the skillet. Sprinkle ¾ cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract over the peaches. Stir gently and cook for about 5 minutes until peaches soften and sugar dissolves into a syrup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  4. Cut in the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in ¾ cup milk and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the warm peach filling in the skillet.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup packed brown sugar over the biscuit topping.
  8. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

If biscuits brown too quickly but peaches aren’t bubbling, tent skillet with foil for last 10 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to filling if peaches are very juicy to thicken. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Keep biscuit batter slightly sticky to avoid tough topping. Butter in skillet is essential for caramelized crust.
