THE LADY'S PEACH SHORTCAKE - PAULA DEEN



The Lady's Peach Shortcake - Paula Deen image

Saw Paula Deen make this on the Food Network and it looks so delicious! The shortcakes are baked in muffin tins and they look like cupcakes which makes for a nice presentation. This would also be a good method to use for strawberry shortcake. Serve with vanilla ice cream and top with whipped cream.

GRILLED PEACH SHORTCAKES



Grilled Peach Shortcakes image

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Heavy cream, as needed, for finishing
Turbinado sugar, as needed, for finishing
Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill grates
6 peaches, halved and pitted
1/4 cup honey
Flaky salt, for sprinkling
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and fine salt to combine. Add the butter and toss, separating the cubes and making sure each is fully coated with flour. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the buttermilk, egg and vanilla if using. Use a fork or small whisk to gently mix the ingredients together inside the well (focusing on breaking up the egg), then use your hands or a spatula to mix the dough until it is evenly combined.
  • Scoop heaping 1/4 cup-size mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, staggering the biscuits to give them at least 1 1/2 inches all around. Brush the surface of each with cream and top with turbinado sugar.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool completely.
  • For filling and finishing: When ready to serve, heat a grill or grill pan until it's smoking hot. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Working in batches, place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook until they have dark char marks, 2 to 3 minutes per peach. Remove the peaches from the grill and transfer to a plate. Drizzle each peach half with 1 teaspoon of the honey while it's still hot and sprinkle with flaky salt. Cut 4 of the peach halves up into thin slices.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to medium peaks.
  • To serve, tear or cut each shortcake in half horizontally and place on a plate. Spoon a generous spoonful of whipped cream on top, and then top with a peach half. Once plated, divide the sliced peaches among the shortcakes and serve immediately.

SOUTHERN PEACH SHORTCAKE



Southern Peach Shortcake image

My mom was a great Southern scratch cook. She believed a shortcake was basically a lightly sweetened biscuit, made to hold up mounds of beautiful, fresh fruit. I have tried to recreate her recipe, and I think this recipe is pretty close! Mom's shortcake was best when made about an hour before serving, to allow all those juices to soak into the shortcake. It's best when eaten fresh, in one sitting, but if you happen to have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream if desired.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9-inch cast iron skillet and set aside. Reserve remaining butter.
  • Combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup cold butter with a pastry knife until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour in milk and stir just until the dough starts to come together.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Divide ball in half and lightly knead each half. Gently roll each half into a 9-inch circle.
  • Place 1 dough circle into the prepared skillet, and dot with reserved butter. Place second dough circle on top of the butter pieces, and place the skillet in the center of the preheated oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is lightly browned, 22 to 25 minutes.
  • While the shortcake is baking, prepare peaches. Slice 1 peach, toss with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and set aside. Chop the remaining peaches, yielding about 4 cups, and toss with remaining lemon juice.
  • Turn shortcake out onto a rack to slightly cool, about 5 minutes. Slice in half crosswise, using the edge of the second layer as a guide. Place bottom half on a serving plate, cut side up.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup white sugar on a plate and lightly mash 2 cups of peaches into the sugar. Spread out mashed peaches and sugar over the shortcake layer on the serving plate. Cover mashed peaches with the second shortcake layer, cut side up.
  • Toss remaining chopped peaches with remaining sugar and distribute on top of the second layer. Toss peach slices in any remaining juice, and place in a decorative pattern on top of the shortcake.
