Essential Ingredient Guide
- Canned peaches: Choose halves packed in light syrup for natural sweetness; drain but keep a splash of juice for extra moisture.
- All-purpose flour: Provides the structure for the tender biscuit topping; sift for a lighter crumb.
- Brown sugar: Adds a caramel depth that pairs beautifully with the fruit's acidity.
- Ground cinnamon: Warm spice that accentuates the peach’s natural perfume.
- Lemon juice: A splash brightens the filling and balances the sweetness.
- Butter: Cold, cubed butter creates the flaky layers when dotted over the batter.
Complete Cooking Process
