Peach Pie, my oh my!

Hey folks, I've just baked my very first pie, and it came out perfect! Sorry about the delay though, I've been a bit under the weather. Anyway I'm just drudging along, candy (my sweet dog) was very interested in the pie. She kept coming around and sniffing at it (which is the highest complement one can get from it). I've also been looking into my higher education, I'm going to Uni next year. My main debate is between a combination of history and anthropology (that can benefit my writing) or film (because part of me wants to be a filmmaker - a big part), any suggestions on how you choose? I've also finished writing a couple of short stories - I'm just going over the rough edges now. And now, the reason why you came here - my pie recipe:

first we make the Dough (and we do not eat the Dough): mix 2 cups of flour, 125 grams of butter\margarine, 1 egg, 1\3 cup of flour, some salt and 2-4 tablespoons of water. Put them all in a mixer (or mix by hand if you're built like shwartznegger) until it has a smooth texture. Put in the fridge for a hour (at least). After that you role the dough out (flour the rolling pin or whatever and the counter top) until it's thin, but not so thin that it breaks when you lift it. Put in pie pan.
Now we make the cream: slice and dice 2 large peaches (peal them, or buy canned), mix with 3 eggs, 1\2 cup of sugar the grated peal of a lemon and 3/4 cup of sweet cream. When it's completely mixed pour into the dough (gently - I managed to splash some around).
Bake at 350 for about an hour (the cream should be custard-like and the dough on the edges should be brown.
Allow to cool. Now slice 4 peaches (pealed) and put on top of the pie. Warm some jam (a little, choose one you like) with brandy and brush over the pie.
Congratulations, we've survived. Now you may eat, (a picture of the pie will be posted soon).

Sounds yummy. By the time I change my recipes around to not use any dairy products, alot of the "yum" is gone.
