Peach Cobbler

Place peaches, 1 cup sugar and nutmeg in a saucepan.

Stir over low heat until peaches begin to exude their juices.

Sprinkle on 1/4 cup flour; cook and stir until well incorporated.

Stir in the butter.

Turn into an ovenproof 9-inch baking dish.

Place remaining flour and salt in a small bowl.

Using a pastry blender (or fingertips), work in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Stir in enough water to make a soft dough. Gather the dough into a ball; roll out on a floured board.

Place rolled out dough over the peaches, tucking under the edges or trimming as needed.

Sprinkle the dough with 1 teaspoon sugar; slash in several places to allow the steam to escape.

Bake in preheated 400° oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is well browned.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
