PEACH FILLING:

4 cups fresh peaches sliced
1 cup sugar
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch

2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup Crisco shortening
2/3 cup buttermilk

PRALINE FILLING:

4 tbsp. butter softened

1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

PEACH FILLING:

Combine sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in medium-sized saucepan until smooth.
Slowly add in water and whisk to combine.
Add peaches.
Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and boil about 3-5 minutes or until mixture is thick.
Remove from heat.
Pour peaches into a greased 9x13” baking dish.

Knead on floured surface lightly.
Roll dough into an oblong about 8x12”.

Combine ingredients well and spread over top of biscuit rectangle.
Roll tightly from long end and cut in one-inch slices. (I cut the biscuit dough into 15 slices).
