PEACH PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the peaches in a medium bowl. Sprinkle lemon juice over them. Mix together 1/2 cup of sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle over the peaches, and stir to coat. Spoon into a 2 to 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry cutter until it is in fine crumbs. Make a well in the center, and pour in the cream. Stir with a fork until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface until it is just big enough to cover the baking dish. Cut a 2 inch cross in the center. Place over the peaches, and tuck in the dough around the sides. Turn back the corners of the cross to reveal the filling.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until filling is bubbly, and top is golden brown.

PEACH PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack one-third down from the top of the oven; preheat oven to 400°.
• Butter a shallow baking pan with a 2 quart capacity, 11 x 8 x 2 inches; set aside.
• Blanch and peel the peaches-have ready a large bowl of ice cold water, a slotted spoon, and a saucepan of boiling water deep enough to cover the peaches.
• With the slotted spoon, place the peaches in the boiling water, two or three at a time; if the peaches are fully ripe, they will need about 15 seconds in the boiling water, if not quite ripe they will need more.
• With the slotted spoon raise a peach from the water and move your thumb firmly over the skin, if the skin has loosened enough it will wrinkle and feel loose; at that point transfer it to the ice water.
• Peel with your fingers starting at the stem end, and return the peeled fruit to the ice water; continue to blanch and peel all the peaches.
• Cut peaches in half, remove the pits, and cut each half in three or four lengthwise slices; you should have 6 generous cups of sliced peaches.
• Place the sliced peaches in a bowl, add the sugar and lemon juice; sprinkle the cinnamon all over.
• With a rubber spatula toss the fruit gently to mix the ingredients evenly; let stand for about 10 minutes to draw a bit of the juice.
• Then place the mixture in the buttered baking dish, including every bit of the juice that has collected.
• Smooth the top and sprinkle on the raisins; let stand while you prepare the topping.
• Topping: sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt; set aside.
• In a small bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs with the milk, butter, vanilla, and almond extract.
• On low speed, add the dry ingredients and beat briefly only until smooth.
• The mixture will be thick but fluid.
• Either pour it slowly to make a thin layer (it will form a wide ribbon when it is poured) or spoon it by small spoonfuls over the fruit; do not pour or spoon too much in any one spot or there will not be enough to cover the fruit.
• Actually, the topping might not cover the fruit completely anyhow, but it should almost cover it.
• Some of the topping will run down into the spaces between the fruit.
• Bake for 28-30 minutes; the juices will bubble dark around the rim and through any little spots that the topping did not cover; the topping will darken slightly.
• Serve warm as is, or with ice cream.

RASPBERRY PEACH PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Preheat Oven 375 deg use middle rack Peel the peaches. Work over bowl to collect all juices and halve the peaches, remove and discard the pits and slice each half into about 4 wedges. Please in bowl. Drain the juices from the peaches into another bowl. To the juices, add the sugar, vanilla and cornstarch and whisk to combine. Add the sliced peaches and raspberries and toss gently to coat. Set aside until the peaches begin to release their juice about 15 mins. Transfer the mixture to a 2-1/2 qt baking dish. Using a rolling pin, roll the pie dough so it is slightly smaller than the baking dish. Drape the pie dough over the rolling pin and then place the crust over the filling, tucking the edge of the crust underneath itself. Using the tines of a fork, prick the crust in several places. Bake for 30-35 mins until the dough is golden and the filling is thick and bubbly. Set aside to cool for about 15 mins. Use a spoon to break the crust into pieces and scoop out some crust and filling.
