Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss 6 cups sliced fresh peaches with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until peaches are well coated and glossy.
  2. Step 2: Spread the peach mixture evenly on a greased 9x13-inch sheet pan.
  3. Step 3: In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt; cut in 1/2 cup cold diced unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 3/4 cup milk just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
  5. Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peaches, leaving some gaps so the fruit can bubble through.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp granulated sugar evenly over the biscuit topping for a sweet crust.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  8. Step 8: Let cool 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
