Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Grease two 9-inch round baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Stir brown sugar into the dry ingredients.
  4. Cut in margarine using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in chopped pecans.
  6. In a small bowl, beat the egg slightly and mix in the milk.
  7. Add the egg and milk mixture all at once to the flour mixture.
  8. Stir with a fork just until the dough is blended; do not overmix.
  9. Spread dough evenly into the two greased pans, leaving about 1/2 inch from the edge.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
  11. While baking, peel and slice the peaches.
  12. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form.
  13. Stir almond flavoring into the whipped cream.
  14. Sweeten the sliced peaches with additional sugar to taste if desired.
  15. Place one shortcake layer on a serving platter.
  16. Top with half of the peaches and a layer of whipped cream.
  17. Add the second shortcake layer on top.
  18. Spoon the remaining peaches over the top layer.
  19. Cover with the remaining whipped cream.
  20. Serve immediately.
