How to Make Nana Edith's Peach Dumplings

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute or two.
Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or glass, cut out circles.
Place a spoonful of peach filling (about 1-2 tablespoons) in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal.
Place the dumplings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm, cold, or at room temperature. Enjoy!
