Peach (Or Apple) Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup whipping cream
8 cups sliced fresh peaches or 8 cups apples
2 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle cream over mixture and toss with fork until dough forms a ball. Knead 4 or 5 times; wrap in plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, combine fruit, 2 cups sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a dutch oven; set aside until syrup forms. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and butter until melted.
Preheat oven to 475\u00b0F Roll half of pastry to a 12- x 8-inch rectangle. Spoon half of fruit into a lightly buttered 12- x 8- x 2-inch baking dish; place pastry on top. Sprinkle with a little sugar; bake for 15 minutes, or until very lightly browned. Spoon remaining fruit on top; roll remaining pastry to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 1 inch strips. Arrange strips in lattice design over fruit. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake 20 additional minutes or until browned.
