# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

03 - Pour the peach mixture into a 9-inch baking dish or a similar ovenproof dish.
04 - In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
05 - Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
06 - Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract just until combined; do not overmix.
07 - Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much as possible (it’s okay if some peaches peek through).
08 - Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
09 - Let cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
