Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoon sugar
-
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
-
¼ cup cold butter
-
⅓ - ⅔ cup sugar
-
¼ cup water
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
5 cup fresh or unsweetened peach slices
-
1 egg
-
¼ cup milk
-
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. For topping, in a medium bowl stir together flour, the 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
-
For filling, in a large saucepan combine the peaches, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Keep filling hot over low heat.
-
In a small bowl stir together egg and milk. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Transfer hot filling to a 2-quart square baking dish. Using a spoon, immediately drop flour mixture into six mounds on top of filling.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until topping is golden brown. If desired, serve warm with ice cream.
