From Scratch Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

1 Cup Flour

1/4 tsp Salt

1 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 Cup Sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla

1/4 C. Shortening

1 Cup Hot Water or the syrup from the Peaches

2 Cans of Peaches

1/4 to 1/2 Cup of additional Sugar

Some cinnamon (optional)

Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and 1/2 cup of sugar together. Add shortening, milk, and vanilla and mix well. Mix in the peaches. Add cinnamon, if desired. I find it best to cut the peaches into the smaller, more bite-sized chunks. Sprinkle the additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar on top. Pour the 1 cup of  hot liquid over this. Bake at 375° for 4. minutes (for a standard 12" 6 quart Dutch Oven, that would be 27 coals).
