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
Instructions
- 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.

Reviews
Added an egg to the buttermilk just because. Also added a tsp of vanilla extract and a 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the flour to make it a little sweeter. Added nutmeg and sprinklesd the batter with crystal sugar before baking. I used canned pie filling.
Great taste. However it was very runny.
This was great. I made it exactly as written except used 3 pounds of peaches and only 2 plums and put it in an 11×7 dish. It was delicious.
