I used to think that the highest calling for a peak-season peach was to be consumed fresh without any fuss. Just cut that baby in half and eat it as is, juice dripping down your arm. What joy! Few things make me as excited about summer as a perfect peach. Recently though, I made myself get over myself and vowed to really live it up this summer by partaking in all the usual summer treats.

I started with cobbler. I was craving a cobbler where the biscuits are not just there to soak up the juices but are memorable and tasty enough to be eaten on their own.

I came up with the following recipe. The peaches are gooey and soft and the resulting sauce is so good you have to use every ounce of will power to not just go all in with a spoon. The crispy tops of the biscuits are what dreams are made of. This dish is definitely worth forgoing that perfect peach moment. Make this cobbler and eat it for dessert with a dollop of ice cream or a splash of cream and then break it out again for breakfast served with plain yogurt. So here you go, Peach Cobbler that will make you so thankful for summer and all the goodness that it brings us.

I personally think cooked peaches are better without their skin but feel free to skip this step if you just can't be bothered. the easiest way I've found to peal a peach is to bring a large pot of water to a boil and score the peaches on the bottom with an X then place them in the boiling water for about 60 seconds. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon then plunge them into an ice bath for 30-60 seconds. The skin should now be easy to remove.
