Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven reaches the perfect temperature to bake the biscuits to a golden, fluffy perfection.
-
Prepare the Biscuits: Remove the frozen biscuits from the freezer and thaw them in the microwave. Set your microwave to 50% power and microwave the biscuits for about 30 seconds. This step helps to soften them, making them easier to cut and cook evenly.
-
Prepare the Custard Cups: Take two 10 oz custard cups (or small baking dishes) and place 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar into each cup. Gently stir the butter and brown sugar together to create a sweet, syrupy base that will caramelize during baking.
-
Add Peaches: Slice the peaches into thin wedges and divide them equally between the two custard cups. The peaches will cook down and infuse the biscuits with a sweet, juicy flavor. If you’re using frozen peaches, make sure they’re thawed and well-drained before adding them.
-
Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of sugar with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the sugar. This mix will add a delightful warmth and sweetness to the biscuits.
-
Prepare the Biscuits: Take the thawed biscuits and cut each one into four equal pieces. In a separate small bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each piece of biscuit into the melted butter, ensuring they’re fully coated. After dipping, roll the biscuit pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them generously.
-
Assemble the Biscuits: Arrange the sugar-coated biscuit pieces into the custard cups on top of the peach slices. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the biscuits for a crunchy, nutty finish that will complement the soft, sweet biscuits.
-
Bake: Place the custard cups in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they bake to ensure the biscuits turn golden brown and the sugar melts into a beautiful, bubbling caramel. The biscuits should be fully cooked through and lightly crisp on the outside.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the custard cups from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. This allows the sugar and butter to firm up slightly. After cooling, gently invert the cups onto serving plates. The biscuits should come out easily, revealing the gooey peach and pecan topping.
Serve the Peach Pecan Biscuits warm, and enjoy them as a delicious breakfast or a sweet brunch treat. The warm, sticky peaches and cinnamon-infused biscuits will melt in your mouth with every bite.
Tips for the Perfect Peach Pecan Biscuits
-
Fresh vs. Frozen Peaches: If you use fresh peaches, make sure they are ripe for the best flavor. Frozen peaches are a great alternative, but be sure to thaw them thoroughly and drain any excess liquid to avoid soggy biscuits.
-
Add More Flavor: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture or a few drops of vanilla extract to the melted butter.
-
Use Different Biscuits: If you prefer homemade biscuits, feel free to make your own biscuit dough for an even more personalized touch.
-
Storage: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat them gently in the microwave or oven for a few minutes to enjoy them again.
Enjoy your Peach Pecan Biscuits as a warm, comforting treat for any time of day. They’re simple, yet utterly indulgent—a great choice for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert.
