Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans and diced peaches, being careful not to overmix and crush the fruit.
- Pour in the milk and stir until the dough just comes together. The mixture should be slightly sticky but not overly wet.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times to bring it together.
- Pat the dough into a circular shape approximately 1-inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut out biscuits and arrange them in a circular ring formation on the prepared baking sheet, slightly touching each other.
- Whisk the egg and brush the top of each biscuit with the egg wash to create a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and risen.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm, optionally drizzled with honey or a light glaze for extra sweetness.
Tips
- Use Cold Ingredients: For the flakiest biscuits, ensure your butter is cold and cubed. This helps create that perfect flaky texture when baked.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dough, mix just until it comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits instead of tender ones.
- Perfectly Cut Biscuits: When cutting out the biscuits, use a sharp cutter and press straight down without twisting. This helps the biscuits rise evenly.
- Experiment with Fruits: While peaches and pecans are a winning combination, feel free to experiment with other fruits like blueberries or apples for a twist on this recipe.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Consider drizzling them with honey or a light glaze for an extra touch of sweetness!
