Prepare Brown Sugar Biscuits

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and and brown sugar in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until it looks like small peas. Add candied pecans until just combined. Add buttermilk, stir until dry ingredients are just moist. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead 3 to 4 times. Pat out into a rectangle about 5 by 7 inches. Cut into 6 pieces.
  • Remove ramekins from the oven. Top the filling with dough and brush on egg and sprinkle on Turbinado sugar. Return to oven and bake until fruit is bubbling and biscuits are a golden brown color. About 20 minutes.  Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes and serve topped with vanilla ice cream.
