Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for dusting
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
1 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 pounds peaches, halved, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch slices (5 cups)
5 ounces blueberries (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Using the large holes on a box grater, grate butter into flour mixture. Using your fingers, incorporate butter into flour mixture, breaking it into even smaller pieces. With a fork, stir in buttermilk until dough just comes together. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 6 squares (or rectangles).
  • Place dough squares, 3 inches apart, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until shortcakes are golden and puffed, 17 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and confectioners' sugar on high until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Cut shortcakes in half horizontally. Divide peaches among bottom halves, top with whipped cream and blueberries, and sandwich with top halves.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Biscuits:
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2/3 cup (or more) whole milk
Filling:
2 pounds peaches, peeled, pitted, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chilled whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For biscuits:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and orange peel in small bowl, mashing peel with back of spoon until mixture is pale orange.
  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture forms coarse meal. Add 2/3 cup milk; stir with fork until dough is evenly moistened, adding more milk by tablespoonfuls if dry. Drop dough by 1/3 cupfuls onto prepared sheet, forming 8 mounds and spacing 1 1/2 inches apart. Using fingertips, flatten each biscuit to 2-inch round. Sprinkle with orange sugar.
  • Bake biscuits until golden brown and tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 18 minutes; transfer to rack. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cool completely. Store airtight at room temperature.)
  • For filling:
  • Toss peaches, 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla in large bowl; let stand 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream and sugar in medium bowl until peaks form.
  • Using serrated knife, cut each biscuit horizontally in half. Place bottom halves on plates. Spoon peaches and their juices onto each biscuit. Top with whipped cream and biscuit tops.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. If they're not in season, you can use frozen peaches, but thaw them and drain them well before using.
  • To make sure the shortcakes are light and fluffy, be sure to whisk the dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients. And don't overmix the batter - just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the shortcakes from sticking to the pan, grease the pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • Serve the shortcakes warm with the peaches and whipped cream. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.

Conclusion:

These peaches with cornmeal shortcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make summer dessert. The sweet and juicy peaches are the perfect complement to the light and fluffy shortcakes. And the whipped cream adds a touch of richness and creaminess. Whether you're serving them for a special occasion or just a weeknight treat, these shortcakes are sure to be a hit.
