Tips:

  • For the perfect cobbler crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and self-rising flour. This will give the cobbler a light and fluffy texture.
  • Be sure to chill the butter before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will help keep the butter from melting and making the dough too greasy.
  • When cutting the butter into the flour mixture, use a pastry blender or two forks. This will help create small, pea-sized pieces of butter that will melt and create steam during baking, resulting in a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • When assembling the cobbler, be sure to place the fruit on the bottom of the baking dish. This will help prevent the fruit from burning.
  • Bake the cobbler until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
  • Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This drop biscuit pear and dried cherry cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, tart cherries, and a flaky biscuit crust is sure to please everyone. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
