How to Make Peach Whirligigs

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (or 4 cups peeled and sliced apples), 1/2 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  3. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Boil for 1 minute, then reduce heat to low and keep warm.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated biscuits (or 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter/margarine) to form a soft dough. If using flour, add ingredients gradually until a dough forms.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8-10 times until smooth.
  7. Roll the dough into a 9x9 inch square.
  8. Spread 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter/margarine evenly over the dough.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
  10. Tightly roll the dough into a log.
  11. Cut the log into 1-inch slices.
  12. Pour the warm peach mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  13. Arrange the roll slices, cut-side up, on top of the peach mixture.
  14. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  15. Serve warm and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
