2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup

thoroughly combined. Beat in the corn syrup and egg until just combined. Add the 1
cup flour and evaporated milk alternately to the filling, beating until just combined
[batter is supposed to look curdled].

powdered sugar.

peaches to the filling right before pouring onto crust.
