Peach Shortcake is just like strawberry shortcakes and are wonderful to make in the summer with fresh peaches. I think fresh peaches are one of the best treats of the summer! There's nothining quite like biting into a sweet, fresh peach, except maybe biting into a warm, sweet peach cobbler or peach shortcake.
Peaches are one of the top fruit crops here in Texas and the Texas Hill Country has some of the best peaches around! Fredericksburg Peaches or Stonewall Peaches are wonderful! If you make a trip to Fredericksburg you can find numerous orchards where you can pick your own and you'll also see roadside stands where you can purchase them as well. TexasPeaches.com has a list and map of orchard locations. Be sure to check out this website before your next trip!
I hope you enjoy this very simple, country-style recipe for Peach Shortcake!
