Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
  • 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream, at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and quartered
  • 6 apricots, pitted and halved
  • 1/3 cup light-brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
  • Freshly whipped cream, for serving

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cream with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
  • Flour your work surface, turn the dough onto it, and knead until it is smooth and uniform in appearance.
  • Pat the dough out to a 1-inch thickness.
  • Punch out dough rounds using a biscuit cutter dipped in flour.
  • Push together the leftover dough, pat out again to 1-inch thickness and cut out more rounds.
  • You should have six biscuits.
  • Arrange the biscuits on the parchment-lined sheet tray.
  • Whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream and the egg in a small bowl.
  • Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  • Toss the peaches and apricots with the brown sugar and amaretto in a bowl.
  • Place the fruit on the grill, cut side down at first, and cook the apricots for 1 to 2 minutes per side, and the peaches for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the grill and place in a bowl to cool.
  • To serve, slice the biscuits in half, and divide the grilled apricots and peaches among the bottoms of the biscuits, drizzling on any juices remaining in the bowl.
  • Add a nice dollop of whipped cream to each, and top each with the other half of the biscuit.
