Health benefits of Fresh Peach Cobbler II

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

3 cups sliced fresh peaches
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish.
Place sliced peaches in prepared baking dish. Mix together 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and almond extract. Place in oven while preparing shortcake (heating peaches first helps prevent dough from getting soggy).
In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and egg; stir just until flour is moistened. Spread over hot peaches. Sprinkle top with remaining sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
