PEACH COBBLER CRISP CRUST RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine peaches (drained), cornstarch or clear jel and sugar; place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
• For crust, combine flour, egg yolks, butter, baking powder and sugar in a bowl. Gently fold in stiff egg whites - this is a kind of a crumbly dough. Drop and then spread over peaches.
• Bake at 375° for about 45 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling around edges and top is golden. Serve with whipped topping or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Work in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water. Sprinkle over flour mixture, and work with hands to form dough into a ball. Chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish, covering bottom and halfway up sides. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• In a large saucepan, mix the peaches, lemon juice, and orange juice. Add 1/2 cup butter, and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch; mix into peach mixture. Remove from heat, and pour into baked crust.
• Roll remaining dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into half-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top crust is golden brown.
