SOUTHERN PEACH SHORTCAKE
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.

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.

PEACH SHORTCAKE
A good tip for picking out perfectly ripe peaches is that the fruit should be very fragrant; if it doesn't smell like a peach, it won't taste like a peach.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter or line a baking sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes (add 3 to 4 additional minutes for frozen ones), until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.
- While biscuits are baking, place the peaches or nectarines in a bowl with the orange juice and Triple Sec, if using. Stir and let sit for a while, stirring occasionally.
- If the biscuits aren't straight from the oven, heat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Slice open and butter the top side of each biscuit. Place each bottom on a plate. Place 2 small scoops of the ice cream onto each biscuit. Top with a large spoonful of fruit. Drizzle over some juice and top with other buttered half. If using whipped cream, place peaches on the biscuit first. Serve immediately.

INDIVIDUAL PEACH SHORTCAKES
Steps:
- To prepare the shortcakes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Position the rack in the center of the oven.
- In a medium-size bowl, sift the sugar, flours, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender, two knives or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and milk and stir until the mixture forms a soft dough. Do not overwork.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin. Roll to a thickness of three-quarters of an inch. Using a cookie cutter, cut out four circles about three to three-and-a-half inches in diameter. Gather the scraps into a ball and reroll for the remaining two circles. The dough can also be shaped into circles by patting with floured hands. Place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake until the shortcakes are golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool.
- To make the peach filling, combine the sugar, water and vanilla in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat so the liquid is just simmering. Add the whole peaches and cover with a damp cloth to keep the peaches from drying out on top. Simmer until the peaches are just tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the peaches from the syrup and let them cool slightly. Remove the skins with a paring knife or your hands.
- In a chilled bowl, combine the vanilla, heavy cream and confectioners' sugar, and beat into soft peaks.
- Split the shortcakes horizontally. Cut the peaches in half, removing the pit. Cut each peach half into four sections. Moisten the shortcakes with a small amount of the poaching liquid, then arrange the peaches on the bottom half of each shortcake. Spoon on a large dollop of whipped cream and place the lid on top. Garnish with a small dollop of cream.
