Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
5 ½ teaspoons white sugar, divided
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon milk
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 peaches, sliced
¾ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
  • Sift flour, 4 1/2 teaspoons sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Rub in butter with your fingers until mixture resembles course crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and mix into a soft dough.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal parts and flatten each part into a 2-inch diameter disc. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon milk.
  • Mix remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the top of each biscuit with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits begin to brown on the edges, about 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, whisk water, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced peaches and cook until sauce begins to thicken, stirring occasionally to coat all of the peaches. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Whip heavy cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Cut each biscuit in half horizontally. Place the bottoms on a serving plate. Add a dollop of whipped cream, top with 1/4 of the peaches, another dollop of whipped cream, and the biscuit top. Serve immediately.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The only thing I do differently is use fresh peaches instead of canned. It's definitely worth the extra effort.
