1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. Calumet baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
1/3 c. milk
1 (29 oz.) can sliced peaches
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. minute tapioca
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 tbsp. butter

Sift flour with 1 tablespoon of sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir with fork until soft dough is formed.

Pat or roll dough on lightly floured board until dough will fit top of a 1 1/2- quart baking dish. Dot with butter; adjust dough on hot fruit mixture, opening slits to permit escape of steam.

Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown.
