Empty the peaches into a square baking pan, sprinkle bits of butter, and one handful of sugar over them, then place them upon a range to heat. Make a dough of the other ingredients, roll out, cut a small piece out of the center, roll it large enough to cover the pan, bake it twenty minutes. When done turn it out, having the peaches upon the top crust. Serve with fairy butter, or cream and sugar. Mrs. Emma Duff.
