Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) peeled and sliced peaches
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1 tbsp (15g) coarse sugar

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated and the mixture looks glossy.
  2. Pour the peach filling into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
  3. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Add chilled butter cubes to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or forks to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized chunks remaining.
  5. Pour in the milk and stir with a spatula just until the flour disappears, leaving the dough shaggy and slightly lumpy.
  6. Spoon the dough in mounds over the peaches, leaving small gaps of fruit showing for a rustic look.
  7. Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 40-45 minutes until the biscuits are mahogany-colored and the peach syrup is bubbling vigorously around the edges.
