Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using frozen peaches if fresh ones are out of season; just thaw and drain excess liquid. You can substitute the nuts with oats for a nut-free version or use a mix of brown sugar and maple syrup for a deeper flavor. Make sure to knead the dough gently to keep the biscuits tender. Serve warm for the best texture.

For a twist, try serving it alongside Dynamite Corn Bread for a hearty meal. It’s also perfect for summer picnics or as a comforting dessert during fall gatherings.
