Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, combine 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, 1/3 cup honey, 2 tbsp bourbon, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar; stir gently and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until peaches soften and juices thicken slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup divided minus 3/4 cup, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  3. Step 3: Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup whole milk until just combined to form a soft dough.
  5. Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peach mixture in the skillet.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Step 7: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
