Ingredients
Scale
Butter Swim Biscuits with Peach Jam
Flour and Leavening Agents:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Dairy and Fat:
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 1 stick (½ cup or 113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 peaches, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, deseeded and minced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- Juice from 1 lemon
- Honey, drizzled on top
Instructions
- Craft the spicy-sweet peach preserve by combining diced peaches with finely chopped jalapeño, fresh lemon juice, and granulated sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Gently heat the mixture over medium flame, stirring periodically until the preserve transforms into a glossy, thickened consistency that clings richly to a wooden spoon.
- Remove preserve from heat and allow to cool while preparing the biscuit foundation.
- Heat the oven to a robust 425°F, creating an ideal baking environment for golden, buttery goodness.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and shredded cheddar until evenly distributed.
- Pour buttermilk into the dry ingredients, mixing until a robust, slightly lumpy batter emerges with a rustic texture.
- Melt butter directly in an 8×8-inch baking dish, creating a luxurious pool of golden richness.
- Carefully spread the biscuit batter across the buttered surface, ensuring even distribution and allowing butter to embrace the dough.
- Strategically place vibrant peach jam dollops at each corner and center of the batter, creating a playful marbled effect.
- Use a slender utensil to gently swirl jam through the batter, creating elegant, intricate patterns.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven, baking for 30-35 minutes until the surface achieves a gorgeous golden-brown complexion.
- Once baked, optional drizzle of honey can enhance the biscuits’ decadence.
- Slice immediately and serve while warm, showcasing the jam-swirled, butter-infused masterpiece.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting jalapeño quantity, using mild or spicy peppers depending on preference.
- Experiment with alternative fruit jams like raspberry or apricot for different flavor profiles while maintaining sweet-spicy balance.
- Achieve perfect biscuit texture by avoiding overmixing the batter, which can create tough, dense results.
- Substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with vinegar or lemon juice for similar tan
