Peach Butter Dip Biscuits

 

I am a big fan of butter dip biscuits. Prior to making these I have made the original recipe, the Cheddar Bay recipe, and the blueberry recipe. Having tasted all of those, I can say with certainty, that these are my absolute favorites. They go together easily, and in just over half an hour you will have a delicious breakfast treat, salad accompaniment, or, with a scoop of ice cream, a wonderful dessert. I altered the glaze by replacing the 3 tablespoons of milk with an equal amount of peach schnapps. Outstanding! It doesn’t taste boozy, just gives it loads of delicious flavor. If you don’t want to take this route, use milk instead of the schnapps.

Peach Butter Dip Biscuits

For the biscuits:

½ c. (1 stick) unsalted butter

2½ c. flour

¼ c. sugar

1 T. aluminum free baking powder

2 c. heavy cream

1 t. vanilla extract

1 15.25-oz. can diced peaches, drained and patted dry

1 c. powdered sugar

3 T. Peach Schnapps

 For the biscuits:

 Preheat oven to 450°F. Place stick of butter into an 8” x 8” microwave-safe baking dish. Microwave for one minute until butter has melted; set aside.

 In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder.

Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir until a sticky dough forms. If batter still looks dry, add a bit more of the heavy cream until you have a sticky dough.  Gently stir in diced peaches.

 Pour biscuit dough into baking dish (right on top of the melted butter.) Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough. Spread out the batter evenly as well as you can.

 Cut the dough into 9 squares. This is not optional. It aids in cutting the biscuits after they are baked. Bake on the middle oven rack for about 30-35 minutes, rotating dish once during baking. If the top gets too dark, cover with a piece of foil. I never do that because I like my top a bit crunchy. Biscuits should be golden brown and when you insert a toothpick in the center to check for doneness.

For the icing:

 In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and schnapps. Drizzle on top of the warm biscuits.

 Allow the biscuits to cool slightly then slice and serve.
