Oh, this is FABULOUS! Don't skimp on the crystalized ginger, as the ginger flavor goes very well with the peaches. I macerated the peaches before making the dough, so they had some more time to release their juices. Read more Try adding a small splash of brandy into the peaches. Sizeable portions. Recommend making eight biscuits rather than six. Absolutely delicious! See less
