Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (one stick)
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup candied crystallized ginger
- 1 cup diced peach (about 1 large peach)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk to combine. Slice the cold butter into 1/2-inch pieces and work into the dry ingredients using fingers or a pastry cutter. Cut the butter into the mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs no larger than the size of a pea.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vanilla, and egg. Whisk until smooth and pour into the dry ingredients.
- Dice the candied ginger and add to the mixture along with the diced peach.
- Mix the ingredients with a fork to create a shaggy wet dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or measuring cup, scoop and drop 1/2 cup biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven until the biscuits are golden, 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes before serving.
