Yummy Swirled Peach Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 stick butter
2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 1/2 c. sifted self-rising flour
1/4 tsp. almond flavoring (for peaches, if desired)
1/2 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
2 c. finely chopped peaches

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0. Melt the butter in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until particles are like fine crumbs. Add milk and stir only until dough leaves the side of the bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead just until smooth. Roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Drain any juice from peaches into the sugar water and sprinkle diced peaches evenly over the dough. Roll up the dough like a jelly roll. Slice dough into about 1/2-inch slices. Place in pan with the melted butter. Pour sugar syrup carefully around rolls. (This looks like too much liquid, but the crust will absorb it.) Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
