What You’ll Need
The Biscuit Part
- – 1 Cup of Buttermilk (Low-Fat)
- – 4 Tablespoons of Butter (Cold)
- – 2 Cups of Flour (All-Purpose)
- – 4 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
- – ½ Teaspoon of Salt
- – ¼ Teaspoon of Baking Soda
The Peach Part
– 6 Peaches (Medium Sized)
– 6 Tablespoons of Honey
– 6 Tablespoons of Cinnamon
– 1 ½ Tablespoons of Brown Sugar
Baking the Biscuits
– Step 1 –
Combine your dry ingredients and butter in a large bowl. Using your fingers, break up the butter and mash it in with the dry ingredients. You want to create little buttery, floury pebbles.
– Step 2 –
Now that the dry ingredients are all mixed up, make a hollow in the middle of the mix and add the buttermilk. Grab a fork and use it to bring the dough together – be gentle as you’re doing this.
– Step 3 –
Flour a surface, lay out the biscuit dough, and pat it until you form a rough square. After that, fold the dough over itself five to four times. Then, roll it out until it’s a circle roughly one-inch thick.
– Step 4 –
Grab a round cookie cutter and cut out your biscuits. If you reroll out your dough, you’ll be looking at around ten biscuits. Pop those bad boys onto a baking sheet treated with nonstick spray.
– Step 5 –
Make sure the oven’s at 425º F and bake those guys on the middle rack. In about ten to twelve minutes, you should have lovely golden-brown biscuits.
Grilling the Peaches
– Step 1 –
Of course, step one is to wash your peaches. When you’re giving them a wash, try to rub off most of the peach fuzz with your fingers or with a new toothbrush (unused and clean, obviously).
– Step 2 –
Grab a knife and slice the peaches in half. Scoop out the pit and the inner, pink part of the peach.
– Step 3 –
Over the sliced part of the peach, drizzle a ½ teaspoon of honey – smooth it out with a spoon or butter knife. Now it’s time for the brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle that tasty stuff all over the sliced part of the peach.
– Step 4 –
Pop those peaches sliced-side down onto a grill at medium-high heat. Let them sit for 4-5 minutes. You want the brown sugar and honey to start crystalizing and the peaches to be a deep orange color. Pop them off the grill and add extra honey and brown sugar to taste.
