Recipes from the Southwest US :: Southwestern Desserts
This is a wonderful way to prepare pie the old-fashioned way in a cast iron skillet. 2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder
1/3 c. shortening
1/3 to 1/2 c. milk
8 fresh peaches Sift flour; measure and add salt and baking powder. Sift again. Cut in shortening as for pastry. Add milk all at once, just enough to make a soft dough. Turn out on a floured board and roll a round piece 1/4 in. thick and several in. larger in diameter than the skillet used. Place dough in bottom of skillet, letting edges hang over the outside. Then fill with sliced peaches and sprinkle and distribute with a mixture of 3/4 c. sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 1 Tbsp. flour. Dot with butter. Fold edges toward center to partially cover the pie. Leave center of pie uncovered or without a lid. Bake at 400 degrees fahrenheit for 25 to 1/2 an hour. Serve warm or cold.
