Ingredients

Shortcakes:

4 cups bisquick
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons almond flavoring

Peaches:

6 peaches
1 teaspoon Fruit Fresh (fruit preservative)
Splash warm water
1 1/2 cups sugar

Whipped cream:

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar

Toppings:

Vanilla Ice Cream
Mint sprigs

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

To make the shortcakes, mix the bisquick, sugar, milk, butter, and almond flavoring in a medium size bowl and pour into 12 well greased muffin tins. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until done and remove from oven. Cool for 5 minutes and pop out of pans.

Peel, core, and slice the peaches. Immediately sprinkle with Fruit Fresh to prevent peaches from turning dark. Add a splash of warm water to the peaches to moisten. Stir the sugar into the peaches, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.

In a large mixing bowl or mixer, combine the heavy cream and sugar, and whip until peaks start to form.

To serve, split the biscuit in 1/2 and place bottom 1/2 on a plate. Top with 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream, pour fresh peaches and syrup on top, and place top half of biscuit over ice cream and fruit. Ladle more fresh peaches on top and finish with a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with a mint sprig.

Disappointing
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I ended up with 15 biscuits and they were double the size in the picture. It wasn't as good as expected. I did a test run... on 6 people and overall was an 'ok' nothing special, nothing they'd want to eat again. Bummer because I think Paula is awesome but this recipe was a flop for me.Read more

Just like mom's
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the way I learned to make fruit shortcake, but using a homemade biscuit recipe. Using a biscuit mix is much faster;... however, I too find it way too salty for sweet baked goods. Try using Jiffy brand mix. It's sodium content is much lower (check the label) and the results are just as good. For anyone who doesn 't like almond extract, try using some fresh citrus zest.Read more

The Cheaper Way
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was pressed for time. So I took the idea and used the flakey style Grand Biscuits and a can of peaches in light syrup. I... warmed the peaches and added some cinnamon. I added vanilla ice cream and drizzled the peach cinnamon syrup over the ice cream. Following the recipe may taste better but I thought this way was yummy.Read more

The biscuit is so flavorful it could be eaten on it's own. I made this with strawberries instead of the peaches. It was a... fast and delicious dessert!Read more
