Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Mix in cold butter cubes until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until blended.

Transfer to a floured surface and knead 10-12 times. Pat into a 12 inch square and brush with melted butter.

In another bowl, combine the walnuts, cinnamon and remaining brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture over dough to within ½ inch of the edge. Roll up jelly roll style. Seal edges and set aside.

Combine brown sugar, cornstarch and grated lemon peel in a large sauce pan. Gradually stir in water until blended. Add peaches and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

Cut biscuit dough into 12 1 inch slices. Arrange cinnamon biscuits over filling. Bake uncovered at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Peak Peach Selection 🍑
Choose peaches that are fragrant and yield slightly to pressure—avoid rock-hard fruit, as they won't soften enough in 35 minutes and will taste mealy rather than jammy.
Lemon Zest Extraction 🍋
Zest the lemon before juicing it, then add both zest and juice to the peach filling to brighten the flavor and cut through the sweetness without adding excess liquid.
Cold Butter Biscuit Topping ❄️
Keep your cold butter cubed and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs—this creates a flaky, tender biscuit topping instead of a dense cake-like texture.
Cornstarch Thickening Power 🌾
Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water before adding to the peaches to prevent lumps and ensure an even, glossy filling that won't be watery or runny.
Golden Topping Finish ✨
Brush the biscuit topping with a light milk wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar 10 minutes into baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior that's both crispy and sweet.
