Peach Cobbler

 1/4 c. shortening

1 c. sugar

1 c. milk

1-1/2 c. flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1-1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 quart peaches

1/2 c. sugar

nutmeg

Cream shortening and sugar in large bowl. Alternate adding milk and flour. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt and vanilla. Stir well until combined. Grease 9X13 pan and pour in batter. Drain juice from peaches and heat one cup of juice to boiling. Put peaches over top of batter. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar and nutmeg. Pour boiling peach juice over the top. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.

If you use fresh peaches, double the sugar on top and use boiling water instead of boiling juice.
