SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under cakes
INSTRUCTIONS
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp.sugar
2 to 3 tbsp. butter
(1 tsp. vanilla extract
)1 egg
(milk to make 1/2 cup
sliced peaches--3 or 4 cups
sugar--about 1/2 cup
cinnamon--about 2 tsp.
butter--about 3 tbsp.
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add butter, working together with your fingers. Beat in egg-vanilla-milk mixture.
Spread this stiff dough in a greased 8 or 9" square pan. Cover the top with sliced peaches, arranging closely. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, dot with butter. Bake in 475 degree oven about 25 minutes.
This is a very old recipe which accounts for the variations in amounts and pan sizes. I have made it in both the 8 and 9" pans--there is not much of a difference, surprisingly. They are both good! Use at any time of day, but we like it at breakfast, best. You can use plums or apples, too.
