Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all purpose flour
13 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled salted butter, diced
1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger, divided
1/2 cup ginger ale
3 tablespoons plus 1 1/4 cups chilled heavy whipping cream, divided
4 large peaches, halved, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk flour, 6 tablespoons sugar, and baking powder in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until very coarse meal forms (oatmeal-size flakes). Mix in 1/4 cup chopped ginger. Add ginger ale and 2 tablespoons cream. Toss until moist clumps form. Gather dough into 7-inch log. Cut crosswise into 6 equal rounds. Place on sheet, spaced apart. Shape each into 2 1/2-inch diameter round. Mix 1 tablespoon cream and 1 tablespoon sugar in small bowl; brush over top and sides of shortcakes.
  • Bake shortcakes until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool on sheet.
  • Meanwhile, toss peaches in large bowl with 4 tablespoons sugar and remaining 1/4 cup chopped ginger. Whisk remaining 1 1/4 cups cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl to peaks.
  • Halve shortcakes horizontally. Place bottoms on plates. Top each with peaches, whipped cream, and shortcake top.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches. If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well.
  • To make the shortcakes extra flaky, use cold butter and buttermilk. Be sure to work the butter quickly into the flour mixture so that it doesn't melt.
  • Don't overmix the shortcake dough. Overmixing will make the shortcakes tough.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • To make the ginger-peach filling, simply combine peeled and chopped peaches, ginger, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and cook until the peaches are soft and the filling has thickened.
  • Serve the shortcakes warm with the ginger-peach filling and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This ginger-peach shortcake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The shortcakes are flaky and buttery, and the ginger-peach filling is sweet and tangy. This dessert is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
