Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Pecans or walnuts (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish or cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the milk and mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the caramel sauce into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the caramel layer. If using cinnamon, sprinkle it over the nuts for added flavor.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange them on top of the caramel-nut layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the biscuits to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully invert the pan onto a serving platter so the caramel-nut topping is on top of the biscuits.
Serve warm, and enjoy the indulgent, sticky, and nutty sweetness!
