Ingredients:

  • 6 medium ripe peaches (about 2 pounds/900g), peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (25g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (5g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (15ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (1g)
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (6g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5g)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick/113g) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, gently toss sliced peaches with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Ensure peaches are evenly coated.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips (or pulse in a food processor) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling. Don't worry about perfectly covering the filling.
  8. Brush the biscuit topping with melted butter.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
