Ingredients
Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 to 1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
Peaches and Garnish
6 ripe peaches or nectarines
2 Tablespoons turbinado sugar
4 Tablespoons butter
4 Tablespoons rum
prepared whipped cream or ice cream, for serving
Instructions
Biscuits
Preheat the Wolf Oven on Bake Mode to 400°F. Lightly coat a nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.
Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. If desired, this step can be done in a food processor.
Stir in the oats. Add the milk and mix just until a dough forms. Do not knead the dough.
Using a medium scoop or spoon, portion the dough into the prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Prepare the Peaches
If desired, peel the peaches by scoring an X on the bottom of each peach and briefly blanching or steaming until the skins loosen.
Halve the peaches, remove the pits, and slice into wedges about 1/2 inch thick. Lightly sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
Preheat a grill plate on the Wolf Induction Cooktop to Level 5. Grill the peach slices for about 1 minute per side. If needed, lightly coat the grill plate with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Transfer the peaches to a plate and reserve.
Rum Sauce
Place the rum in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the alcohol aroma dissipates and the liquid has reduced slightly. Whisk in the butter until smooth.
Assemble and Serve
Split a biscuit in half. Top with grilled peach slices and drizzle with the rum sauce. Finish with whipped cream or ice cream and serve immediately.
