Ingredients

6 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, cold (equal to 3 sticks or 24 Tbsp.)
1 1/2 - 2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup peach jam
3 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 8 oz frozen peaches, defrosted and drained)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425F.
In lg food processor bowl fitted with metal blade, process flour, 1 cup of the sugar, baking powder, and salt for 30 seconds.
Cut butter into 1/2\" cubes and add to flour mixture, pulsing blender until mixture is crumbly.
With processor running, slowly add 1-1/2 cups of buttermilk through top tube; turn off as soon as buttermilk is added.
If dough is beginning to get sticky, remove it; otherwise continue adding buttermilk, 1 Tbsp at a time, until it begins to form a ball and then remove it.
On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into 1/4\" thick rectangle (approx 12\"x10\").
Spread a thin layer of jam lengthwise over half the dough.
Arrange peach slices in a single layer over the jam.
Fold plain dough over the peaches to make a 12\"x5\" rectangle (like closing a book).
Cut dough into 8 triangles and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c sugar.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 10-15 min, until light golden brown.
