Peach Butter Swim Biscuits Ingredient Tips
Drain the Peaches Well
This is the most important step. Extra liquid can make the biscuits dense and increase baking time.
Use Real Buttermilk
Buttermilk gives the biscuits a softer texture and better flavor than regular milk.
Don’t Overmix
Mix only until the ingredients come together. Overmixing can make biscuits tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
To help with any questions you may have about making these peach biscuits, I have answered questions below.
Yes. Fresh peaches are excellent during peach season. Peel and dice them before adding to the batter.
Yes. Thaw completely and drain well before mixing into the dough.
The peaches likely weren’t drained enough. Too much liquid changes the texture.
Absolutely. They’re delicious with or without the glaze.
Not without adjusting the recipe. Baking mix already contains fat and leavening, so it isn’t a direct substitute. You’ll need to add 1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil per cup of flour and incorporate it into the flour.
Yes, the substitution is in the notes of the recipe card below.
