Peach cobbler is one of the most comforting desserts from the Southern United States: juicy, caramelized peaches bubbling under a golden biscuit dough, halfway between a scone and a cake. Its name comes from cobblestones, the paving stones that the irregular pieces of dough resemble.
It is the ultimate foolproof family dessert: no lining, no assembly, just seasonal fruit, a quick dough, and an oven. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top, as American tradition dictates.
