Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler
Karen Moran of Navasota, Texas shared this recipe with us. She likes to enjoy this recipe in the summertime with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream...sounds so good, doesn't it?
3 c. plus 3 T. all-purpose flour, divided
1 t. salt
1 c. shortening, divided
1-1/2 c. cold water, divided
2 c. sugar
7 c. peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
1/2 t. almond extract
1/2 c. butter, sliced and divided
Combine 3 cups flour and salt. Cut in half of shortening with a fork until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Cut in remaining shortening until mixture is consistency of small peas. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cold water; stir gently until dough holds together. Press into a smooth ball; divide in thirds. On a lightly floured board, roll out 1/3 of dough 1/8-inch thick; cut into 3-inch by one-inch strips. Place strips on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cover remaining dough with a tea towel; set aside. For filling, stir together sugar and remaining flour. Add peaches, remaining water and extract; blend carefully. Roll out another 1/3 of dough 1/8-inch thick; press into bottom and up sides of an ungreased 3-quart casserole dish. Spoon half of filling into dish; dot with half of the butter. Place baked dough strips over filling; add remaining filling and dot with remaining butter. Roll out remaining dough 1/8-inch thick; cut into 3/4-inch wide strips and arrange lattice fashion over filling. Trim edges; seal and flute. Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes to one hour, until bubbly and golden. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
