- 1/2 cup sugar (You can do less if your peaches are really sweet)
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I don’t add this because I prefer to taste the peaches more)
- 4 cups sliced peaches (about 6 medium)
- 3 Tablespoons shortening
- 1 cup flour
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch, and cinnamon in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in peaches. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole dish; keep peach mixture hot in oven.
Cut shortening into flour, 1 Tablespoon sugar, the baking powder, and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbles. Stir in milk. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto hot peach mixture.
Bake until topping is golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Serve warm.
You can also serve with Vanilla Sauce. The recipe is also on the blog.
