NOT-SO-CLASSIC PEACH MELBA
A classic peach Melba is a dessert of poached peach halves and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream, invented by the French chef Auguste Escoffier, and named after the Australian soprano Nellie Melba. This not-so-classic version calls for sliced ripe peaches instead of cooked peach halves. Look for the best vanilla ice cream, with real vanilla, or make your own. Easy to assemble, it's a lovely, refreshing and elegant dessert, perfect for when peaches and raspberries are in season.

PEACH MELBA
It's simple to prepare a memorable dessert for just you and someone else. Straight from our Test Kitchen, this yummy classic features fresh peaches and a super delicious raspberry sauce for drizzling. Idea: An easy way to peel peaches is to lower them into boiling water and cook them for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; cool slightly and remove skin with a knife. Poaching peaches in syrup is a great way to soften peaches that are not yet ripe.

- Pre-heat the oven to 425°F and arrange a shelf slightly below the center of the oven. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Combine the self-rising flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Grate the butter into the flour and stir to coat the butter pieces evenly. Gently stir in the buttermilk. The dough should be thick but quite wet.
- Spread the all-purpose (not self-rising) flour out on a small cookie sheet. With a spoon, scoop 7 evenly sized balls of dough into the flour, making sure they don’t touch each other. With floured hands, coat each dough ball with flour and toss them gently from hand to hand to shake off any excess flour.
- Place each floured dough ball into the prepared pan, right up next to the other. This will help the biscuits rise up, rather than spreading out. Place the cake pan on the arranged shelf in the oven. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
