This was given to me by a friend in return for all the recipes from the net.

			Peach Cobbler

Biscuit Topper:

	1 cup sifted all purpose flour
	2 Tbsp. sugar
	1 1/2 Tsp. baking powder
	1/4 Tsp. salt
	1/4 cup butter or margarine
	1/4 cup milk
	1 egg slightly beaten

Sift first 4 ingredients together. Cut in butter until mixture looks like
coarse crumbs. Combine milk & egg.  Add all at once to dry stuff.  Stir
just to moisten. Set aside.

Peach Filling:

	1 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
	1/4 Tsp ground mace
	1/2 cup brown sugar
	1/2 cup water
	4 cups sliced peaches
	1 Tbsp lemon juice
	1 Tbsp butter or margarine

Combine first 4 ingredients & cook, stirring constantly until thickened
Add peaches, lemon juice, & butter. Cook until peaches are hot (about 5 min.)
Pour into Baking dish (about 8 x 8 x 2). Immediately spoon the buscuit
topper on in 6 mounds. Bake 20 - 25 min. at 400 degrees.
Serve warm with cream or ice cream. Serves 6.

Notes:

I use fresh peaches - fully ripe! Canned peaches are ok - use liquid
instead of water (unless it's heavy syrup - then use half and half)
Cinamon or nutmeg or both can be substituted for "mace".

Enjoy
