Ingredients
  • For Bottom layer:
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 2 cups peeled, pitted, and sliced peaches
  • ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
  • ⅛ teaspoon table salt
  • Biscuit Topping:
  • ½ cup cake flour
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon table salt
  • 3 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup heavy cream, divided
  • For Skillet:
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • reserved 2 Tablespoons heavy cream (from biscuit topping)
  • 2 teaspoons granulated white sugar, for sprinkling on top
  • To serve:
  • Scoops of vanilla ice cream
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. For Bottom Layer: Place fruit and remaining bottom layer ingredients in a mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat fruit and set aside.
  3. For Topping: In another mixing bowl whisk together both flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter to form small pieces. Measure the ½ cup heavy cream, then remove 2 Tablespoons to a small cup and set aside. Stir remaining cream into flour mixture with a fork and stir until it clumps. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead a few times to form a ball. Pat dough into ½-inch thickness. Cut out small rounds of dough.
  4. To assemble: Melt the Tablespoon of butter in a 6-inch cast iron skillet or other heavy oven-proof skillet or pan at least 2-inches deep. Scrape reserved fruit and their juices into the pan; remove from heat. Top with the rounds of dough and brush with the reserved 2 Tablespoons of cream. Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons sugar evenly over dough.
  5. Place pan on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet to catch juice overflow. (Yes, it will drip so don't skip the foil) Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until nice and golden. Let rest about 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
