The autumnal equinox officiated the end of summer last week (September 23), and with it comes the end of peach season. To honor both summer and one of its more divine gifts, what could be more appropriate than shortcake?
Biscuits, prepared with Trader Joe’s Multigrain Baking & Pancake Mix, according to recipe on the box:
- 1 cup of baking mix
- 1/3 cup milk and
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil
Combine, knead, roll, cut and bake.
Cool Whip topping or, if you’re feeling ambitious, make your own:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
Whip cream until soft peaks begin to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar and continue to beat until peaks form. Do not over-beat, you’ll end up with butter.
- fresh peaches, sliced (about 1/2 peach per serving)
- honey (to taste, approximately 1 1/2 tsp per serving)*
Halve biscuits. Layer sliced peaches and whipped cream to form a sandwich. Drizzle with honey.
