Ingredients
•
3 cups sliced fresh peaches
•
1 cup white sugar
•
1 tablespoon lemon juice
•
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
•
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1 tablespoon baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/3 cup shortening
•
1/2 cup milk
•
1 egg, beaten
•
2 tablespoons white sugar
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish.
2
Place sliced peaches in prepared baking dish. Mix together 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and almond extract. Place in oven while preparing shortcake (heating peaches first helps prevent dough from getting soggy).
3
Combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and egg; stir just until flour is moistened. Spread over hot peaches. Sprinkle top with remaining sugar.
4
Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
