Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 F.

To prepare the crust, combine flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Place egg, water and vinegar in another bowl and beat with a fork. Make 2-3 holes in the dry ingredients and pour in egg mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Roll out dough to a little less than 1/8-inch thick and cut into 8 squares.

Cut a segment out of each peach and remove the pit.

Combine 1 cup sugar, water, butter and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a saucepan. Boil for 3 minutes.

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.

Place peaches on pastry squares. Fill peach cavities with cinnamon sugar. Dot with butter. Bring opposite points of pastry up over peaches. Overlap the edges, moisten with water and seal.

Place dumplings 1 inch apart in a baking dish. Pour hot syrup around dumplings.

Bake immediately for 40 to 45 minutes, or until crust is browned and peaches are cooked through (test with a fork).

Serve warm with syrup and cream.
