Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, toss 4 cups fresh sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated. Pour peach mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking dish.
- Step 2: In another bowl, whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup whole milk just until the dough forms; do not overmix. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling.
- Step 4: Mix 1 tsp ground cinnamon with 2 tbsp granulated sugar and sprinkle over the biscuit topping.
- Step 5: Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Step 6: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with optional vanilla ice cream.
