Notes

💧 Always thaw and drain frozen peaches completely before using; excess liquid will make the filling watery and thin.
🧈 Keep the butter cold when cutting it into the biscuit dough—warm butter leads to a dense, tough topping rather than a light, crumbly one.
🍦 For the best experience, serve each portion warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of heavy cream, or a sprinkle of toasted pecans.
