Peach Whirligigs

My mother-in-law makes this yummy dish every summer when peaches are in season. When my husband and I got married I just had to have the recipe to carry on the tradition! In autumn, replace the peaches with apples and you have a delicious fall dessert as well!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ⅓ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons margarine, softened
• 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1 ⅓ cups buttermilk baking mix
• 5 large fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

In large saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, water, 1 1/2 cups sugar and cornstarch. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil for one minute, then reduce heat to low to keep warm.

Step 3

In a large bowl, stir together baking mix, 2 tablespoons sugar, melted margarine and milk to form a soft dough. Remove to floured surface and knead 8 to 10 times. Roll out into a 9 inch square.

Step 4

Spread softened margarine over dough. Combine 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon, and sprinkle mixture over dough. Roll dough into a log shape and cut into 6 - 1 1/2 inch slices. Pour hot peach mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Place roll slices, cut side up, on top of peach mixture.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve warm.
