Sift to mix and then rub in five tablespoons of shortening, and mix to a dough with two-thirds of a cup of ice-cold water. Roll out on a well-floured pastry board one-quarter inch thick. Now cover with the prepared peaches and then sift over One-half cup of sugar, One-half teaspoon of cinnamon. Roll as for jelly roll, tucking the ends in securely.
