List of Ingredients




* 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

* 1/2 cup water

* 4 cups peeled and sliced peaches

* 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided

* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

* 11/4 cups self-rising flour

* 1/3 cup shortening

* 2/3 cup milk

Recipe



Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and nutmeg and stir until absorbed. Add the water. Stir in the peaches, 3/4 cup of the sugar, and the vanilla; bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute; remove from the heat and spoon into the casserole; set aside while you prepare the crust.

In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the shortening into the flour until crumbly. Stir in the milk, a little at a time, until all the flour is moistened but not too wet. Using your hands, work the dough into a ball, but don't overdo it. Place the ball on a floured work surface and pat into a 3/4-inch-thick shape. Cut into 2-inch circles. Place the circles on top of the peaches in the casserole.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the crust is browned. May be served plain, or topped with vanilla ice cream.

Makes 4 servings.
