Peach cobbler with cinnamon-swirl biscuits

8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
1½ teaspoon Baking powder
⅛ teaspoon Baking soda
¼ cup Butter
⅓ cup Milk
½ cup Finely chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons Brown sugar
¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon Butter; melted
⅔ cup Packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons Cornstarch
½ teaspoon Finely shredded lemon peel
6 cups Sliced; peeled peaches or 6 cups frozen unsweetened peach slices
Sour cream topping or ice cream

Directions

For Biscuit Topping, in a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, the 1 Tbsp brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt. Cut in the ¼ cup butter till the mixture is crumbly. Make a well in the center. Add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just till dough clings together. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Combine walnuts, the 3 Tbsp brown sugar, and cinnamon; brush dough with the 1 Tbsp melted butter and sprinkle with nut mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from one of the short sides. Seal edge. With a sharp knife, cut into eight 1-inch-thick slices.

Set aside. For filling, in a large saucepan stir together the ⅔ cup brown sugar, cornstarch and lemon peel. Add peaches and ⅔ cup water. Cook and stir till bubbly. Transfer to a 12x7 1/2x2-inch baking dish. Arrange biscuit slices, cut side down, on HOT filling. Bake, in a 400F oven about 25 minutes or till biscuit slices are golden. Serve warm with Sour Cream Topping or ice cream.
