Description

This peach biscuit stack is a delightful summer dessert that's surprisingly easy to make. Imagine layers of flaky, buttery biscuits embracing juicy, ripe peaches, all coming together in a symphony of flavors and textures. I've been making this for years, and it's always a hit at summer gatherings. The slight tang of lemon juice perfectly complements the sweetness of the peaches, creating a balanced and refreshing treat. It's best served warm, making it the perfect comfort food for a summer evening. Feel free to add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence!

Preparation (13 steps)

Prepare the skillet and oven

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet and set aside.

Combine dry ingredients

Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon to the Thermomix bowl.

Thermomix® Setting

10 sec/Speed 4

Add ½ cup cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes, to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 10 Sec./Stufe 4 until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Add milk and combine

Thermomix® Setting

5 sec/Speed 3

Pour in ⅔ cup milk and mix for 5 Sec./Stufe 3, or until the dough starts to come together. Use the spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.

Shape the dough

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Divide ball in half and lightly knead each half. Gently roll each half into a 9-inch circle.

Assemble the shortcake

Place 1 dough circle into the prepared skillet, and dot with 2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter. Place second dough circle on top of the butter pieces.

Bake the shortcake

Bake in the preheated oven until top is lightly browned, 22 to 25 minutes.

Prepare the peaches

While the shortcake is baking, prepare peaches. Slice 1 peach, toss with 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, and set aside. Chop the remaining peaches, yielding about 4 cups, and toss with remaining lemon juice.

Cool the shortcake

Turn shortcake out onto a rack to slightly cool, about 5 minutes. Slice in half crosswise, using the edge of the second layer as a guide. Place bottom half on a serving plate, cut side up.

Mash peaches

Sprinkle 1/4 cup white sugar on a plate and lightly mash 2 cups of peaches into the sugar.

Assemble the layers

Spread out mashed peaches and sugar over the shortcake layer on the serving plate. Cover mashed peaches with the second shortcake layer, cut side up.

Top with peaches

Toss remaining chopped peaches with remaining sugar and distribute on top of the second layer. Toss peach slices in any remaining juice, and place in a decorative pattern on top of the shortcake.
