Ingredients
For the Butter Swim Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or whole milk)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
For the Peach Jalapeño Jam:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pectin (optional, if you want a firmer jam)
Instructions
-
Make the Biscuits:
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter and buttermilk. Stir until just combined; the dough should be sticky but not too wet. -
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter. Transfer the dough into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Do not flatten the dough too much; it should be rough and rustic. -
Bake the Biscuits:
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan. -
Make the Peach Jalapeño Jam:
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the jam. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, jalapeño, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the peaches break down and the jam thickens. If you prefer a thicker jam, you can add pectin according to the package instructions. -
Finish the Jam:
Once the jam reaches your desired thickness, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. The jam will thicken further as it cools. Taste and adjust the sweetness or spiciness by adding more sugar or jalapeño, depending on your preference. -
Serve:
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the pan and break them into pieces. Serve the warm Butter Swim Biscuits with a generous spoonful of the Peach Jalapeño Jam on top.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier jam, leave some of the seeds in the jalapeño.
- For a quicker version of the jam, you can use store-bought peach preserves and mix in some finely chopped jalapeños for the spicy kick.
- The biscuits can be served with other toppings like honey, butter, or even cream cheese for extra flavor.
