Time 1h

Yield About 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups thinly sliced ripe Georgia peaches
4 tablespoons sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, diced
3/4 cup buttermilk
Sweetened whipped cream for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the peaches and 3 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir until combined. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and remaining tablespoon of sugar and stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3 or 4 times. Roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness and cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Press the scraps together and continue to cut biscuits until all the dough is used. Place the biscuits on a lightly greased, shiny baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned and no longer doughy in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • To serve, split each shortcake in half and place a generous amount of peaches on the bottom half. Place the other half on top and garnish with whipped cream.
