Grilled Apricot and Peach Shortcake

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cream with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
  4. Flour your work surface, turn the dough onto it, and knead until it is smooth and uniform in appearance.
  5. Pat the dough out to a 1-inch thickness.
  6. Punch out dough rounds using a biscuit cutter dipped in flour.
  7. Push together the leftover dough, pat out again to 1-inch thickness and cut out more rounds.
  8. You should have six biscuits.
  9. Arrange the biscuits on the parchment-lined sheet tray.
  10. Whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream and the egg in a small bowl.
  11. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  12. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  13. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  14. Toss the peaches and apricots with the brown sugar and amaretto in a bowl.
  15. Place the fruit on the grill, cut side down at first, and cook the apricots for 1 to 2 minutes per side, and the peaches for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  16. Remove from the grill and place in a bowl to cool.
  17. To serve, slice the biscuits in half, and divide the grilled apricots and peaches among the bottoms of the biscuits, drizzling on any juices remaining in the bowl.
  18. Add a nice dollop of whipped cream to each, and top each with the other half of the biscuit.
