Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 6 cups thickly sliced peaches
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup heavy cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Place the peaches in a medium bowl. Sprinkle lemon juice over them. Mix together 1/2 cup of sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle over the peaches, and stir to coat. Spoon into a 2 to 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry cutter until it is in fine crumbs. Make a well in the center, and pour in the cream. Stir with a fork until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 4

Roll out dough on a floured surface until it is just big enough to cover the baking dish. Cut a 2 inch cross in the center. Place over the peaches, and tuck in the dough around the sides. Turn back the corners of the cross to reveal the filling.

Step 5

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until filling is bubbly, and top is golden brown.
