Serves 8

INGREDIENTS
Cooking spray
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cups coarsely chopped peaches or nectarines
2 cups blueberries
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
3 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp chilled butter
6 tbsp low-fat buttermilk
(6 tbsp plain yogurt OR 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice plus 5 tbsp skim milk or soy milk can be substituted for buttermilk)

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon rind, and cinnamon in a large bowl.  Add fruit, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.  Gently toss to coat.
3. Pour fruit mixture into baking dish, and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
4. While fruit is baking, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.  Using 2 knives of a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture becomes a coarse meal.
5. Add buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir gently just until mixture is moist.
6. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough lightly 3 times.  Roll dough out to about a 1/4-inch thickness.
