Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 3 cups sliced fresh peaches

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish.

Step 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).

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. 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.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
