Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Press diced peaches between paper towels to remove excess moisture and set aside.
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl.
  4. Grate frozen butter into the dry mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add the peaches and toss to coat them in the flour mixture.
  6. Gradually pour in buttermilk, stirring gently until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  7. Transfer dough to a floured surface and gently knead it before shaping into a rectangle.
  8. Fold the rectangle into thirds and pat it down, repeating the process two more times.
  9. Cut biscuits with a floured cutter and arrange on the baking sheet. Chill for 20 minutes.
  10. Brush tops with egg wash and bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Whisk together glaze ingredients while biscuits bake. Brush warm biscuits with melted butter and drizzle glaze over before serving.
