Ingredients
-
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 ¾ cups whole milk
-
1 cup canned peaches, diced (drained well)
For the Vanilla Glaze
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
2–3 tablespoons milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
-
Stir in the milk until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches. Do not overmix—the batter should be thick but pourable.
-
Transfer the batter into the baking dish with the melted butter. Do not stir—the batter will “swim” in the butter as it bakes.
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
While the biscuits cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
