PEACH CUSTARD CAKE 
1 1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
30 oz. can sliced peaches, drained, 1/2 cup liquid reserved
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 c. evaporated milk

Combine flour, salt, and butter in 1 1/2 quart bowl. Blend with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.

With a spoon, press mixture firmly on bottom and halfway up sides of buttered 8 inch square pan.

Arrange peach slices on crust. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over peaches. Bake in 375 degree oven 20 minutes.

Combine reserved peach syrup, egg and evaporated milk. Pour over peaches. Bake 30 minutes more, or until custard is firm in all areas except center (center becomes firm on standing). Makes 9 servings.
