Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a mixing bowl, combine all purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
- Add cold diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- For in whole milk and stir gently until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1 inch thick round.
- Cut the dough into a 10 cm diameter circle and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the shortcake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- While the shortcake bakes, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Slice the fresh ripe peach thinly and set aside.
- Once the shortcake is baked and slightly cooled, slice it horizontally to create two layers.
- Place the bottom half of the shortcake on a plate, layer with sliced peaches, then add a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Top with the other half of the shortcake and add more peaches and whipped cream on top if desired.
Tips
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture.
- Keep butter cold to ensure flaky shortcake.
- Do not overmix dough to keep it tender.
- Chill heavy cream before whipping for better volume.
Serving Suggestions
- iced tea
- vanilla ice cream
- fresh mint leaves
Enjoy this classic southern peach shortcake fresh for a sweet and satisfying summer dessert that highlights juicy peaches and fluffy shortcake.
