Ingredients
Instructions
- Simmer 1/4 cup butter, sugar, orange juice, and orange rind for 5 minutes.
- Pour half of the syrup into a 9-inch square pan.
- Stir milk into biscuit mix until well combined.
- Roll out the dough into a 9 x 14-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Brush the rolled-out dough with melted butter.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the dough.

- Roll the dough from the short side into a log.
- Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch slices.
- Place the slices in the prepared hot syrup in the pan.

- Pour remaining syrup over the rolls.
- Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar in the syrup. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can make your own using flour, baking powder, and salt. Feel free to experiment with other fruits like apples or berries, which would also create delicious variations. Additionally, ensure the peaches are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the rolls.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach roll-ups warm, drizzled with the remaining syrup for added sweetness. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, making for a delightful dessert. For a brunch option, consider serving alongside a fruit salad or a dish like Scone Bread for a well-rounded meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover peach roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, a microwave can be used for quick reheating, but the oven will keep them crispier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches will add a vibrant flavor to your roll-ups. Just make sure to peel and slice them before using. If they're not in season, you can also substitute with frozen peaches, thawed and drained well.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature before rolling it out for the best results. This is a great way to save time on busy mornings.
How can I make this recipe healthier?
To make the peach roll-ups healthier, consider reducing the sugar in the syrup and using whole wheat biscuit mix. You can also add nuts or oats for extra texture and fiber. For a lighter option, serve with a yogurt topping instead of whipped cream.
