Decrease the heat to low and cook until the peaches are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the butter. Roll out half of the pie pastry, then cut it into an 8-inch square. Spoon half of the peach mixture into the prepared dish. Cover the mixture with the pastry square. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until lightly browned. Take the dish out of the oven and spoon the remaining peach mixture over the baked pastry. Roll out the remaining pastry, then cut it into strips about an inch wide. Arrange the strips in a loose lattice pattern over the peach mixture. Bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until browned. Remove from the oven. Serve warm. DOUBLE PIE CRUST 2 1⁄2 1 1 6 cups all-purpose fl our, sift ed teaspoon salt cup vegetable shortening, chilled egg, beaten tablespoons cold milk In a bowl, combine the fl our and salt. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients with a fork or by pinching the shortening into the fl our mixture with your fi ngers. Th e result should be coarse crumbs and small clumps the size of peas. Add the egg and mix well. Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Don’t be afraid to add more milk if necessary to achieve a dough that’s wet enough to form into a ball. Being careful not to overwork the dough, form the dough into a ball with your hands. Wrap the ball in plastic, then chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Transfer the dough from the refrigerator to a lightly fl oured surface. Flatten the ball slightly and dust the top of it with fl our before rolling it out with a rolling pin. Divide the dough into two portions before rolling. Wine | Beer | Martinis | Small Plates | Seafood | Dessert Begin rolling at the center of the dough and work outward. 1297 Bay Street Florence • 541-997-1133 Roll the dough out into a circle about 4 inches wider than the pie pan it will be placed in. Preheat the oven to 475 F. Lightly butter an 8-inch square glass dish. Set it aside. Prepare the pasty for a double-crust pie. Set it aside. Combine the peaches, sugar, fl our, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice in a 4-quart Dutch oven. Allow the mixture to sit until the dry ingredients are dissolved and a syrup forms, about 15 minutes. Enjoy great food and good times.
