1 cup | All-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon | Brown sugar |
1½ teaspoon | Baking powder |
⅛ teaspoon | Baking soda |
¼ cup | Butter |
⅓ cup | Milk |
½ cup | Finely chopped walnuts |
3 tablespoons | Brown sugar |
¼ teaspoon | Ground cinnamon |
1 tablespoon | Butter; melted |

For Biscuit Topping, in a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, the 1 Tbsp brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt. Cut in the ¼ cup butter till the mixture is crumbly. Make a well in the center. Add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just till dough clings together. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Combine walnuts, the 3 Tbsp brown sugar, and cinnamon; brush dough with the 1 Tbsp melted butter and sprinkle with nut mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from one of the short sides. Seal edge. With a sharp knife, cut into eight 1-inch-thick slices.
Set aside. For filling, in a large saucepan stir together the ⅔ cup brown sugar, cornstarch and lemon peel. Add peaches and ⅔ cup water. Cook and stir till bubbly. Transfer to a 12x7 1/2x2-inch baking dish. Arrange biscuit slices, cut side down, on HOT filling. Bake, in a 400F oven about 25 minutes or till biscuit slices are golden. Serve warm with Sour Cream Topping or ice cream.
