Ingredients
Pear Filling
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 dash cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups cubed fresh pear
- 2 cups sliced fresh pears
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cream
- 3 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar if desired
Instructions
- Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 degrees.
- Combine all of the filling ingredients, except pears, in a large skillet on the stove.
- Then stir in the sliced and cubed pears. I found that the cubed pears were the best, since pears are so soft to begin with you can do delightful sized cubes; be bold and experiment.
- Cook the pear mixture over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until hot and bubbly, stirring gently. The mixture will thicken up during this process, which is just fine.
- Pour the filling into the 8 inch X 8 inch pan and set aside while you make the topping.
- For the topping, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
- To make the topping a scone instead of a cake you need to cut in the butter, until it's little pebbles all throughout the dry mixture. Then add the cream and mix until blended together. It will resemble a biscuit dough very much at this point, more than a scone dough. This is how you achieve a biscuit topping, always cut the cold butter into the dry mixture, then add the liquid ingredients until just mixed.
- Top the fruit filling evenly with large spoonfuls of topping, I dabbed bit by bit across the top until it was covered. It does take some patience because the topping doesn't pour or spread like batter. I would put a dab on top, smooth it out as wide as possible, repeating until the top was covered.
- Sprinkle the topping with 1 tablespoon of sugar, if desired..
- Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, or until pears are tender and bubbly and topping is golden brown.
