    List of Ingredients




    Biscuits
    1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
    2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
    3/4 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
    2/3 cup whipping cream
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    1 tablespoon butter, melted

    Filling
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 vanilla bean, coarsely chopped
    1 tablespoon all purpose flour
    4 pounds peaches, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

    Powdered sugar (optional)

    Recipe



    For biscuits:
    Mix first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Set spiced sugar aside. Mix flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Using fingertips, rub in chilled butter until coarse meal forms. Add cream and vanilla; stir until moist clumps form. Gently knead dough on lightly floured surface just until smooth.

    Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 9x15-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with spiced sugar. Starting at 1 long side, roll up dough jelly-roll style. Transfer to baking sheet. Cover log with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

    For filling:
    Preheat oven to 350 F. Blend sugar, vanilla bean, and flour in processor until vanilla is finely chopped; place in large bowl. Add peaches and lemon juice; toss to coat. Transfer peach mixture to 10-inch-diameter cake pan with 3-inch-high sides. Bake until filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

    Cut dough log crosswise into 1-inch-thick biscuits. Place biscuits atop filling. Bake until biscuits are golden, about 45 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
