Description
Peach Butter Swim Biscuits are a sweet twist on the classic Southern biscuit. These tender, buttery biscuits “swim” in melted butter while baking, creating golden edges and a moist center bursting with juicy peaches. Finished with a simple vanilla glaze, they’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a fruity dessert.
