Fredericksburg Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shortening
1 tablespoon sour cream (regular or fat free)
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon chilled water
Filling
6 cups frozen sliced peaches, thawed
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 whole eggs
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, sift flour and salt. Using an electric mixer on low speed, add shortening and mix for 1 minute until mixture looks like coarse meal.
2. Add sour cream to flour mixture and mix with your fingers. Gradually, add chilled water and continue to mix with your fingers until the dough holds together. Form dough into a flat ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Roll dough out into a rectangle to fit the prepared baking pan. Crimp edges in a decorative design. Save remaining dough for criss-cross lattice pastry top.
4. Place peach slices in prepared pie crust. Combine cream, eggs, flour and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the peaches. Place pastry strips across the top of the dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
5. Bake on the center oven rack for 30 to 35 minutes until peaches are done and crust begins to brown.
