Peach Slump
Recipe By : The Great American Dessert Cookbook
8 cups thinly sliced peeled peaches (approx 8 medium size peaches)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg -- well beaten
Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole. In a
medium-size bowl, toss together the peaches, brown sugar, almond extract, and
cinnamon. Spread in the bottom of the casserole. Sift together the flour,
baking powder, and 2 Tbsp of the white sugar. Cut the butter into the flour
mixture, until it has the consistency of coarse crumbs. Combine the milk,
buttermilk, and egg and combine with the flour. Do not knead; the dough will
be sticky, stiff, and lumpy. Drop by the spoonful over the peaches. Try to
get even coverage, but don't worry about a few bare spots. Bake for about 25
minutes, until the top is golden and the juices are bubbling. Cool on a wire
rack for about 5 minutes. Then loosen the biscuit from the sides of the pan
and invert onto a serving platter.
YIELD: 4 to 6 servings
