The biscuits are almost rich as cake! Sift together dry ingredients; cut in butter till mixture is like coarse crumbs. Combine egg and cream; add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring only to moisten. Turn dough out on floured surface; knead gently 1/2 minute. Pat or roll dough to 1/2 inch. Cut 6 biscuits with floured 2 1/2-inch round or fluted cutter. Bake on ungreased baking sheet in very hot

oven (450o) about 10 minutes. Split shortcakes; butter bottom layers. Fill and top with peaches and whipped cream. Serve warm.
