Ingredients:

1/2 c butter or margarine
2 c flour
1/4 t baking powder

2) Arrange peaches on top of the pastry. Sprinkle fruit with mixture of cinnamon and remaining sugar. Bake at 350F for 15 min.

3) At end of first baking cycle, combine egg yolks and cream. Pour mixture over fruit. Bake additional 30 min.

This sounds good! I love peaches and this is something that will be different for me to try on my husband and I. I have to go to the store tomorrow to get fresh peaches and cream. Which is better sour cream or regular cream?

I believe it depends more on calories and health reasons as well as preferences on tastes.

I don't know if I would want to cook the regular cream. I think I would prefer the sour cream.

The egg thickens the cream very nicely. I never use sour cream. But it really is one's own preference.

Boy howdy, this sounds so yummy. I'm not a sour cream lover either and will use regular cream..just happen to have some in the fridge. I've been reading about this recipe discussion and y'all have sure made me hungry. tee hee
Thanks bunches for sharing and hope to try it soon. Our family loves peaches...especially mama.

For those of you wondering how my diabetic hubby could eat this, here are my modifications:

reduce butter by 2 T (use 3/4 stick)
reduce sugar to 1/4 c and add 6-8 packets of Truvia
replace 1 c flour with Carbalose flour
replace 1 c cream with 1 c fat free half-n-half

Bake according to original instructions.

This is the first time I used the modified recipe and it worked very well. We were both pleased with the results.

This sounds great. I love peach deserts.

[mlsorensen]

That sounds good and my peaches are just ripening.

If you can afford the calories, mlsorensen, try topping it while still warm with ice cream.
