Warm Peach Shortcakes With Brown Sugar Cream Recipes

PEACH AND STREUSEL SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, sour cream and 2 tablespoons butter until soft dough forms.
• In ungreased 9-inch square pan, press dough, using fingers coated with Bisquick mix. In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter and the pecans. Sprinkle mixture over dough.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut warm shortcake into 6 wedges. Split each wedge. Fill and top with sliced peaches. Top with whipped cream and additional chopped pecans.

BROWN SUGAR SHORTCAKE WITH WARM BOURBON PEACHES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a baking sheet. In a bowl, combine flour, 55 grams of sugar, cornstarch, baking powder and salt, and whisk well. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers. When butter is in pea-size pieces, mix in cream and egg until a soft batter forms.
• Dump batter onto a floured surface and knead until it holds together. Divide batter into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Press larger piece of dough into a 1/2-inch-thick round, roughly 8 inches in diameter. Place on baking sheet and brush with butter. Press remaining dough into a 1/2-inch-thick round and place on top of first dough round. It should be smaller in size. Brush with butter and sprinkle with more sugar. Bake until shortcake is golden brown and firm to the touch all over, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, prepare the peaches. In a medium skillet, heat bourbon and add 1 tablespoon water and 25 grams of sugar. Cook until sugar dissolves, then add peaches. Let cook until peaches are warmed through and release their juices, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully cut smaller top round off shortcake. Place shortcake bottom on a serving plate and cover with warm peaches and their liquid (reheat fruit if necessary). Spoon whipped cream over peaches and place shortcake top over cream. Serve immediately.

BROWN SUGAR PEACHES

Steps:

• Gently toss sliced peaches, golden brown sugar, and fresh lemon juice in large bowl to blend. Let stand at room temperature until juices form, tossing occasionally, about 2 hours.

PEACH SHORTCAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425°F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, 4 tablespoons of the brown sugar, the Bourbon, and the ginger. Set the mixture aside while you make the cake.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using two forks or your fingertips, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk, stirring only until moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently knead 10 times or until the dough comes together and is smooth.
• Pat the dough evenly into a greased 8-inch round cake pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the shortcake from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.
• When ready to serve, whip the cream with the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar until stiff peaks form.
• Split the shortcake into two layers; place the bottom layer on a serving platter. Spoon half of the peach mixture over the cake and top with half of the whipped cream. Cover with the second cake layer and top with the remaining peach mixture and whipped cream. Sprinkle with the pecans and serve.
