Ingredients
| 2 | all-purpose flour |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 3/4 | cup butter |
| 8 | ripe peaches, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces |
| 1/2 | cup sugar |
| 1/4 | cup all-purpose flour |
| 2 | tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice |
| 1 | teaspoon grated lemon peel |
| 2 | tablespoons milk |
Instructions
Preparation of Crust | |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. |
| 2. | Sprinkle 5 to 6 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, over the flour mixture; toss with a fork to blend lightly but evenly. |
| 3. | When the mixture forms a ball, knead gently 2 or 3 times. |
| 4. | Divide the dough in half. |
| 5. | On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a 12-inch circle; fit it into a 9-inch pie plate and trim, leaving a 1-inch overhang. |
| 6. | Roll out the remaining half of the dough to a 12-inch circle; using a sharp knife, cut the circle into ten strips, each about 1-inch wide, and set them aside. |
| 7. | Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). |
Preparation of Filling and Baking | |
| 1. | In a large bowl, combine the peeled peaches, sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and grated lemon peel; toss well. |
| 2. | Pour the filling into the prepared crust. |
| 3. | Arrange the reserved strips of dough in a lattice pattern over the filling; trim the strips to match the lower crust overhang. |
| 4. | Dampen the overhang lightly with water; turn it up over the ends of the strips and seal. |
| 5. | Flute the edge of the crust decoratively. |
| 6. | Brush the lattice strips and the edge of the crust with milk; bake for 50 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. |
