Ingredients
For the filling:
Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
2 pounds peaches or nectarines, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
1 pound plums, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated peeled ginger
Pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For the biscuits:
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a shallow 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Prepare the filling: Toss the peaches and plums in a medium bowl with the brown sugar, honey, ginger and salt. Sprinkle in the flour and toss to coat. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the biscuits: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter with your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Add the buttermilk and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Pat into an even 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out the biscuits with a 2-inch-round cookie cutter, rerolling the scraps as needed.
- Arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes.
