Peaches and custard baked to a chewy, gooey perfection on a tender cookie crust. Can be made all year with canned peaches. Delicious hot with ice cream or alone cold. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup white sugar, divided |
1/2 cup butter |
6 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and halved |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 egg yolks |
1 cup heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar into a large bowl. Cut in butter by pinching between your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the peach halves cut side up on top of the crust in a nice pattern. Mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the peach halves.
3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. While the peaches are baking, whisk together the egg yolks and cream in a medium bowl. Pour over the peaches after the 15 minutes are up.
4. Reduce the oven's temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Return the dish to the oven, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.
