Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Peach Compote:
- 2 15-oz. Canned Peaches
- 3 tbsp. Honey, or Maple Syrup
- Juice of 1 Lemon, or 1 tbsp. Juice from the Can
- 1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
For the Hot Honey Whipped Butter:
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
- 4 tbsp. Honey
- 1 tbsp. Hot Sauce, or to taste
- Pinch of Sea Salt
For the Buttermilk Biscuits:
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 ½ tbsp. Baking Powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ½ cup (8 tbsp.) Unsalted Butter, cold
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk
Directions:
For the Peach Compote:
- Drain the peaches, saving the peach juice for other uses like drink recipes. Place the drained peaches in a saucepan over medium high heat.
- Stir in the honey, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Let the peaches cool to room temperature before transferring to a food processor to blend until smooth.
- Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 4 days.
For the Hot Honey Whipped Butter:
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the softened butter and honey. Whip for 5 minutes.
- Add hot sauce and sea salt to taste, then whip on HIGH speed another 4-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
For the Buttermilk Biscuits:
- Freeze the stick of butter for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Using a box grater, grate the cold butter into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork or your fingers until crumb-like texture. But be careful not to overwork the dough – you want the butter to stay cold!
- Add the cold buttermilk and mix just until combined.
- Transfer the dough out on a clean floured surface.
- Pat out into a large rectangle, then slice the dough into 3 equal pieces. Stack the pieces on top of each other and pat or roll out to 1” thick.
- Use a 2 ½ – 3” cookie cutter to press firmly down into the dough. Do not twist! Twisting will make the biscuits lose their appearance of flaky edges.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared pan.
- Brush with butter or an egg wash.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, until golden on top.
- Enjoy warm with the Hot Honey Whipped Butter and Peach Compote!
