6 cups peeled sliced peaches
²⁄₃ cup granulated sugar (raw turbinado alternatively)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¹⁄₄ teaspoon almond extract
1 ¹⁄₂ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₃ cup vegetable shortening
1 egg, lightly beaten
¹⁄₄ cup milk
1 cup heavy cream, chilled

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 3qt baking dish.
Arrange peaches in baking dish. Sprinkle with 2/3 cup sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and almond extract.
Bake for 20 minutes.
While peaches are baking, sift flour, 1 T of the remaining sugar, baking powder and salt together into a bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Combine beaten egg and milk and mix into dry ingredients until just combined.
Remove peaches from oven and quickly drop dough by large spoonfuls over surface. Sprinkle with remaining 2 T sugar. Return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until top is firm and golden brown.
Whip cream into soft peaks. Add powdered sugar and vanilla to taste, or flavor with peach brandy or cordial to taste.
