Sometimes, I use my favorite shortbread recipe for ice cream sandwiches. Today it became Peach Bars. I couldn't resist the peaches at the farmer's market this morning and made these...I suppose I could still add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and make them into sandwiches.
Shortbread Dough
2 3/4 c All purpose flour
1 c (2 sticks) Butter, softened
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1 egg
2 Fresh yellow peaches, sliced thinly.
In a medium bowl, stir together dry ingredients: sugar, baking powder, flour, salt and spices. Use a pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg into the flour mixture. It will be crumbly. Pat 3/4 of the crumbs into the bottom of a parchment lined 9x13 pan, pressing firmly.
Tile peach slices over crumb base in a single
layer. Scatter remaining crumbs evenly over peaches. Bake at 375ยบ for about 30 minutes, until top is slightly brown and you can
see a little color around the edges. Cool completely in pan before
cutting into squares.
