Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
• In a 9×9-inch baking dish, melt ½ cup butter in the oven as it preheats (keep an eye on it to prevent burning).

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

1. In a large bowl, whisk together:
   • Flour
   • Baking powder
   • Baking soda
   • Sugar
   • Salt
2. Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined (do not overmix—it should be slightly sticky).

Step 3: Assemble & Bake

1. Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven.
2. Pour the melted butter into the dough and gently fold it in (some butter will pool at the bottom—this is normal).
3. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the buttery dish (about 9 biscuits).
4. In a small saucepan, melt the remaining ½ cup butter with peach preserves, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
5. Drizzle the peach butter mixture over the biscuits.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

• Let cool slightly before serving.
• Dust with powdered sugar or top with fresh peaches if desired.
