Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in orange zest.
-
Gradually add milk to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 6 squares.
-
Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then split them in half horizontally.
-
Spoon the peach mixture onto the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and place the remaining biscuit half on top.
-
Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
