Mom's Peach Cobbler

No other cobbler recipe even comes close to this one. I make it every year, as soon as peaches are in season!

Blanch 6 peaches in boiling water for 4 minutes. Rinse with cold water and remove skins, and pits. Slice and place in baking dish.

Sauce:

In a saucepan combine the following ingredients, and cook on medium heat until thick.

1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. mace
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup water
1 Tbs. butter
1 Tbs. lemon juice


Dumplings:

In a bowl, combine the following ingredients and dollop dough on top of sliced peaches and sauce in a round baking dish, or a 8 x 8 baking pan.

1 cup flour
2 Tbs. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup butter
1 egg (slightly beaten)
1/4 cup milk

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
