Juicy Summer Butter Swim Biscuits

I stumbled upon these Peach Butter Swim Biscuits by chance one warm summer day in my kitchen. Tossing fresh peaches into my butter swim biscuit mix turned out to be pure genius. As they bake, the biscuits soak in a buttery bath while peach chunks create little pockets of summery sweetness. They're just right for those slow Sunday mornings or whenever you're craving something homey and delightful.

Fruity Twist on Down-Home Tradition

These treats honor an old Southern cooking custom with a summery addition. The foundation comes from countless family kitchens where butter and flour worked their simple magic. The peaches turn ordinary biscuits into something extraordinary without losing that wonderful melt-away texture everyone loves.

How To Make Them

I'll walk you through making these incredibly soft biscuits swimming in butter with peach goodness in every mouthful.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can fresh peaches replace canned ones?

Sure, just peel and chop the fresh peaches. Drain well so they don’t make the dough too soggy.

→ Why are they called "swim" biscuits?

The biscuits are baked surrounded by melted butter, making them look like they’re floating during baking.

→ Can I prep these ahead of time?

They’re best right outta the oven, but they’ll keep for a couple of days at room temp or up to 5 days chilled.

→ How do I stop them from over-browning?

If they’re browning too much, try loosely covering them with foil. Ovens can differ, so keep an eye on them!

→ Are these suitable for freezing?

Yep! After baking, wrap each biscuit and freeze them for up to 3 months in airtight bags.
