Peach Pie

On Saturday arinellen, tribaldemon, Paige and I went op shopping and I bought this cute pie dish with a a recipe for cherry pie on the bottom. "Mmm, this pie is delicious, can I have the recipe?" "Sure, just eat the rest!"

Naturally Paige and I had to make peach pie!
Pastry:
  • 3 cups self-raising flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 250g butter, cold, chopped
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Place the self-raising flour in a bowl. Create a well and fill with eggs and butter. Rub flour into the eggs/butter trying to touch only flour. The pastry should attain a golden colour and flaky texture. Line a pie dish (ours was 9") with about half of the pastry moderately thickly.
Pie filling:
  • 1 large tin peaches in juice
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons cornflour
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Strain peaches, keeping ½ cup of juice. Combine juice, sugar, butter, cornflour, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Place peaches in pie dish and pour over just enough liquid to submerge. Cover with pastry, sealing edges with a fork. We had a bit of pastry left over (it's so tasty >.>).

Bake for around 20 minutes in a hot (250°C) oven, or until golden brown.

Pics coming soon! (Pie is half-eaten now, though.)
