# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The peach butter creates these incredible sticky, caramelized edges that everyone fights over
  • No rolling, cutting, or dirty countertops—just mix and pour straight into the pan
  • The vanilla glaze takes them from breakfast bread to dessert in seconds
02 -
  • The dough will look wet and shaggy—this is completely normal and how swim biscuits are supposed to be
  • Scoring before baking is essential because cutting them after baking will crush those tender edges
03 -
  • Watch closely after 20 minutes since oven temperatures vary and the peach butter can cause the edges to brown quickly
  • Use a light-colored metal baking dish for the most even baking
