2 c. sifted flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. butter
9 or more peach halves, fresh or canned

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Sift flour, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Cut in butter, using two knives, until the consistency of corn meal. Pack into an ungreased square pan (8 x 8 x 2 inches) pressing against bottom and sides. Arrange the peach halves, cut side up, in three rows of three or three rows of four, depending upon the size of the fruit.

In a small bowl combine the 3/4 cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the fruit. Bake for 15 minutes. In a small bowl heat the egg yolks, stir in the heavy cream. Remove the Kuchen from the oven after the first baking period.

Pour the cream mixture evenly over the fruit and return to the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan. To serve: Run a thin knife or spatula along the edge to loosen the crust. Cut Kuchen in serving pieces and remove piece by piece.
