INGREDIENTS

  • Shortcake

    • 2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ cup cold, unsalted butter
    • 🥛 ⅔ cup milk

  • Peach Filling

    • 🍑 8 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
    • 🍋 3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • ½ cup white sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9-inch cast iron skillet and set aside.

2

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour in milk and stir until the dough comes together.

3

Shape dough into a ball, divide in half, and roll each half into a 9-inch circle.

4

Place one dough circle into the skillet, dot with reserved butter, and top with the second dough circle. Bake until lightly browned for 22-25 minutes.

5

Prepare peaches by slicing one peach and tossing with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Chop the rest of the peaches, toss with remaining lemon juice, and reserve.

6

Cool the shortcake for 5 minutes, slice it crosswise, and place the bottom half on a serving plate.

7

Mash 2 cups of peaches with 1/4 cup sugar. Spread mashed peaches on the bottom shortcake layer. Cover with the second layer, then distribute the chopped peaches and sugar on top of it. Decorate with peach slices.
