Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups milk
• 3 large ripe peaches
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms (do not overmix).

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat it to a thickness of about ¾ inch, and cut into 6 equal rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.

Step 6

Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 7

While the shortcakes bake, wash the peaches and slice them thinly. Drizzle the slices with honey and toss gently to coat.

Step 8

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 9

To assemble, slice each shortcake in half horizontally. Layer the bottom half with whipped cream, followed by honeyed peaches, and top with more whipped cream. Place the top half of the shortcake over the layers and garnish with an extra peach slice or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Peachy Breakfast Shortcake!
