Peaches and Dumplings

This is a good recipe using fresh peaches as a base
and then cooking biscuits on top of them in a pot.
Kind of like dumplings on chicken soup but better.
I've used Bisquit mix at times and they're good too.

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups hot water
3 cups fresh sliced peaches
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar, optional
1/2 milk or cream, more or less
cinnamon sugar, optional

Directions:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat,
combine 1 cup sugar, butter, and hot water.
Add peaches and bring to a boil.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder,
salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar, if using;
stir in milk or cream to form a stiff batter.
Drop large spoonfuls of batter onto the boiling fruit.
Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
Spoon out dumplings and fruit into bowl.
If desired, sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar
and serve with cream or ice cream.
