Mother'S Peach Dumplings
- 8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut in half
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Butter or margarine
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Divide pastry into 8 equal portions; roll each to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Trim edges to form a square.
- Place 1 peach half, cut side up, in center of each pastry square. Combine sugar and cinnamon; spoon 1 tablespoon of sugar mixture into center of each peach half. Dot with butter. Place remaining peach halves, cut side down, over sugar mixture. Moisten edges of each dumpling with water; bring comers to center, pinching edges to seal. Place dumplings, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking dish.
- Bake at 450u0b0 for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to 300u0b0; pour half of syrup over dumplings. Stir vanilla into remaining syrup. Bake an additional 30 minutes, gradually adding additional syrup so dumplings will not bake dry.
