- I saw a request for cobblers and it reminded me of a wonderful shortcake
- recipe a friend gave me. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, and maybe you'll be
- able to answer the mystery of why the dough tastes so sweet -- there
- really isn't that much sugar in it.

- Peach Shortcake
- ---------------
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
-
- Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Cut shortening
- into dry mixture. Combine beaten egg, milk, and vanilla and stir into
- dry mixture. Turn out onto floured board and roll into a pseudo-rectangle
- 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle with sugar and roll jelly-roll fashion. Cut
- into slices 3/4-inch thick using a thread (makes cleaner cuts) and place
- on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with milk. Bake 12-15 minutes
- at 450F or until golden brown. Top with sweetened peaches (or any fruit).
- This also tastes wonderful for breakfast crumbled with milk over it.
-
- Enjoy!
