Method

Prepare pastry: Combine flour and salt in medium bowl. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with water, tossing with fork until pastry begins to hold together. Shape into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine 2/3 cup sugar, the flour and lemon peel in large bowl. Add peaches, lemon juice and vanilla; toss to combine. Spoon into 10-inch deep-dish pie plate and dot with butter. On lightly floured surface, roll pastry to 11-inch circle. Cut decorative vents. Place pastry over peaches and flute edges, or cut pastry into 1/2 inch strips and arrange on top of pie to form lattice. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with 2 Tbs. sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake 30 to 45 minutes more, until bubbly in center. Cool on wire rack 20 minutes.
