Peach Cobbler
"I've topped this version with fluffy barely sweetened whipping-cream biscuits. I've also swapped out the sugar in the peach filling for a pure local honey. The peaches flooding the farmers' market right now are sticky and candy-sweet, so why mask that already great natural flavor with too much sugar? And everyone knows a cobbler isn't a cobbler without creamy vanilla ice cream. Homemade is preferable, but any kind will do...."
