Ingredients

4 servings

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
