1/2 cup butter
2 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
12 peach halves, fresh sliced or canned or packaged frozen sliced peaches
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream or sour cream

Work butter into sifted mixture of flour, baking powder, salt, 2 Tbsp. sugar until mixture looks like coarse corn meal. Pat an even layer of this dry mixture over bottom and halfway up side of 8x8-inch baking pan. Use your hands -- press firmly until pastry holds.

Arrange fruit to cover the bottom. Sprinkle fruit with mixture of cinnamon and the remaining sugar. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Pour egg yolks (beaten) into cream and pour over the top and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour longer.
