Perfect Peach Cobbler

This recipe comes from an excellent cook, Marge Dixon, who was one of the leaders in Young Women's when I was about 17 years old.

3 c. sliced peaches
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1 c. sugar (additional)
2 T. shortening
2 eggs
2 T. milk
1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Combine peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water, and bring to boil. Set aside. Cream sugar, shortening, eggs, and milk. Add dry ingredients, and mix until blended. Put the batter into a 6x10 inch baking pan, then pour peach mixture over the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Crust magically migrates to the top! Yummy!
