Directions: Peach Butter and Biscuits Breakfast Idea
Step 1: Make the Peach Butter
- In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the peaches are very soft (about 20-25 minutes), use an immersion blender or mash with a potato masher until smooth. Continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until thickened and spreadable.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a jar or airtight container.
Step 2: Make the Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Add cold cubed butter and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix until just combined (do not overmix!).
- Turn out dough onto a floured surface; gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough onto itself twice, then gently flatten again to 1-inch thickness.
- Cut out biscuits using a 2.5-inch round cutter. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
- Brush tops with melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool slightly, then split and serve warm with peach butter.
