Fresh Peaches Amongst Sugared Scones | And... My Novel Shop Coming Soon!

For finally weekend's brunch I wanted to serve a dessert that was early on twenty-four hours appropriate.  I idea close strawberry shortcake, but the local strawberry flavour has faded in addition to I'm non a huge fan of shortcakes... but I practise honey scones (no surprise, right?).  And what close peaches?   Are peach shortcakes a thing?  

You'll bring out inwards the photos that I've switched from using the silpat baking liner to pre-cut sheets of parchment paper.  We used them at the bakery I worked at inwards college.  I'm crazy close them - no cleaning in addition to non-stick.  They are hence dainty to get got around for packaging, likewise - move corking for wrapping upwards loafs of banana bread.  I honey them hence much that they are going to endure ane of the items I am going to stock inwards my new... store!

That's right.  I've been working on developing an online store (Update! Now available, here!) to endure role of the weblog that volition comprise all of my favorite things in addition to things that I ever teach inquiries about.  I'll comport a multifariousness of "everyday essentials" (like the parchment liners, hemstitch napkins, linen tea towels, candles, kraft cookie/cupcake boxes, etc.), mailable gifts in addition to exceptional seasonal items every bit good (like cozy throws in addition to pillows inwards the Fall, in addition to goodies gift packaging for the Holidays).  I'm also designing some custom products that I volition carry, too.  I'd honey your input on what you'd similar to come across inwards my store! 

Back to the scones : 

To brand the uncomplicated scone a piffling to a greater extent than special, I added almond extract in addition to crunchy sanding sugar.  The saccharide gives corking texture in addition to compaction to the fluffy in addition to moist scone.  To seat it over the edge, I topped it alongside vanilla edible bean whipped cream. 

I can't nation you lot how skilful this is.  Silly skilful in addition to very, really simple.  I intend this is what shortcake is genuinely supposed to sense of savour like!  I highly recommend baking them simply earlier serving (they exclusively get got 10-12 minutes) hence they are hot in addition to fresh alongside the mutual depression temperature peaches in addition to whipped cream - or H2O ice cream.
