Peach Shortcake

All right, as I promised, we're fixing to make a wonderful, easy, fresh peach shortcake

And you're not going to believe how easy this is. All right, we've got our peaches ready

We're going to toss these with a cup and a half of sugar. All right, and we're going to put a little fruit preservative

This will just keep them from browning. It won't affect their taste at all

But since we're serving these raw, I'm going to use a little bit of that on them

because I'm not going to be serving this right away. so I don't want those peaches to be damaged or darkened in any way

by the time I get them on the shortcake. Look at those. And as that sugar dissolves, they're going to make their own syrup

And if they don't make enough syrup to suit you, I really love my shortcake just kind of sopping wet

So what I'll probably do is add a little warm water to this. And like I said, before too long, they'll be sitting in a nice syrup

All right, now we're fixing to get our pan ready for our shortcakes

And we gonna spray our muffin tins real well with a non spray strictly because it easier than taking a napkin or anything and swishing around in there So our pan ready to go and we got a biscuit mix and sugar

one of a southern girl's very favorite ingredients, melted butter. Can't have too much melted butter

and we're going to give a squirt because I just simply love the flavor of almond flavoring and

peaches. And we're going to do about a teaspoon. No, let's do, since I like it so much, let's do

about a teaspoon and a half. And we're going to just stir that up a little bit. And we're going to

add our milk in our beautiful measuring cup. And I'll give you a little hint. The less you work

this biscuit dough, the better off you are. So we're just going to stir this just until it's

And if it has lumps in it, that's quite all right. Don't worry about it

Ooh, and I can smell that almond. Already it smells. Oh, gosh

It smells wonderful. And it just kicks up a fresh peach We going to use a simple ice cream scoop We never going to have to dirty our hands girls We going to come over here and just drop a scoop into each hole

We want it about three quarters full because we don't want no skimpy shortcakes

But that's just perfect. And these are going to go into our preheated oven

Shut the door, and before we can say jackspread, we're going to be having peach shortcake

Now we're gonna move over to the finishing touch on our peach shortcake, and that's our

fresh whipped cream. And we're gonna start by pouring our wonderful heavy cream that I went and got from the dairy

farm myself. We're gonna add a half a cup of sugar, and that looks to be about a half a cup

And then we're gonna start this off on about a medium speed, and we're gonna let it beat

right there just for a second, actually about 30 seconds. And then we're gonna turn that bad boy up all the way

There, that looks right. Sweet fresh whipped cream My favorite Our shortbreads are out of the oven and we to set them there to cool There a nice little breeze coming in the door so that chill them for a minute

And our peaches have been sitting here soaking in their sugar and just soaking up every bit of that sweetness

And let's see if I got enough sugar. Yeah, I did. We're going to take our shortcakes

We're going to slice them in two. When you serve this dessert, you have to have everybody sitting there with their coffee

or whatever they're going to have, have them right there ready because the ice cream will melt fairly quickly on you

So we're going to put a scoop of ice cream, your sugared peaches

How yummy is that? And then we're going to top him and top him one more time with some more wonderful peaches

and peach syrup. And then for the finale, fresh whipped cream and a sprig of mint, and we're ready to eat
