1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon milk
6 small or 4 medium peaches
Butterscotch Sauce (see recipe below)
vanilla ice cream (optional)
Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. For two 7-inch pies, divide dough in half. On a lightly floured work surface, roll to two 8 1/2-inch circles. transfer to two 7-inch pie tins. (For a 9-inch pie do not divide dough, roll to an 11-inch circle, and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate). Trim crusts even with top of pie tins. With a lightly floured fork, press sides of crust into pie plate. Line with a double thickness of foil that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray to prevent pastry from sticking. Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 to 6 minutes more or until crust is golden; cool. Reduce oven to 350 degrees F.
