Ingredients
 
 

Peaches

  • 3 425g cans of peaches in juice, not syrup
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Biscuits

  • 190 g all-purpose flour
  • 65 g granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 113 g unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • 120 g buttermilk (plus more for brushing) cold, or see notes for whole milk substitute

Topping

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Drain the canned peaches in a colander for at least 10 minutes to remove excess juice. 3 425g cans of peaches
  • Add the drained peaches to a 10-inch baking dish. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until evenly coated. 50 g brown sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla paste, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt

Biscuits

  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. 190 g all-purpose flour, 65 g granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
  • Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.113 g unsalted butter
  • Gradually add the cold buttermilk, stirring until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Don't overmix. 120 g buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
  • Mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Flatten chunks of dough roughly in your palm and place over the peach filling, leaving some gaps. Brush the tops with a little buttermilk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until the biscuits are deep golden brown, and the filling is bubbling. Check doneness by inserting a skewer into the center of a middle biscuit. It should come out clean.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Both US customary and metric measurements are provided. Use the toggle to switch between the two.
  • Use peaches canned in juice, not syrup. Drain them well, at least 10 minutes in a colander.
  • Don't overmix the biscuit dough or the biscuits will be tough.
  • To make a quick buttermilk substitute, remove 1 teaspoon of milk from the 120g/½ cup and add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 325°F (160°C) oven.
