20 10 30

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 7 to 9 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 4 cups sliced fresh peaches
  • Whipped topping

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, nuts, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup cream, egg, 2 tablespoons sugar and vanilla until slightly thickened. Stir into dry ingredients until mixture forms a ball, adding cold water if necessary.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut into three 3-1/2-in. circles, three 2-3/4-in. circles and six 1-1/4-in. circles. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Brush the tops with remaining cream. Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • In a large bowl, combine the peaches and 5-7 tablespoons of sugar. Split the large and medium biscuits in half horizontally. Spoon a few peach slices on large biscuit halves; dollop with whipped topping. Top each with a medium biscuit half, remaining peaches and whipped topping and a small biscuit. Yield: 6 servings.
