Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler

   Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg
1/4 cup cold water
3 pounds fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted


   1. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar and salt. Work in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water. Sprinkle over flour mixture and work with hands to form dough into a ball. Chill 30 minutes.
   2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish, covering bottom and halfway up sides. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
   3. In a large saucepan, mix the peaches, lemon juice and orange juice. Add 1/2 cup butter and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and cornstarch, mix into peach mixture. Remove from heat and pour into baked crust.
   4. Roll remaining dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into half inch wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
   5. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until top crust is golden brown.
