GLUTEN-FREE STRAWBERRY-PEAR COBBLER

Gluten-Free Strawberry-Pear Cobbler image

I really enjoyed the distinctive taste of pear peeking through the tart sweetness of strawberries. I recommend using Spectrum's palm oil based shortening, as it's non-hydrogenated and has none of those much-maligned trans fats. Serve this cobbler alone or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I can't guarantee that this will work with other gluten-free flours, so stick to Pamela's Ultimate Baking and Pancake Mix if you can find it.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups Pamelas ultimate baking and pancake mix (gluten-free)
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup shortening
1/3 cup buttermilk or 1/3 cup non-dairy milk substitute
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 pints strawberries, cut lengthwise in thirds
2 ripe bartlett pears, in 3/4 inch cubes
1/4 cup brown sugar or 1/4 cup sucanat
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F In a medium bowl mix the sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg. Add berries and pears, and mix thoroughly until fruit is coated with the dry ingredients. Pour fruit mixture into greased 8x8" baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix baking mix and salt. Cut shortening or butter into the baking mix, using your hands to mix until no large lumps appear. Add milk or milk substitute, and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon (the mixture will not be completely smooth).
Spoon batter over the top of the fruit, spreading over the whole dish. It will be thick, so use your hands to distribute it evenly. Leave a few small uncovered areas so that some of the liquid from the fruit can evaporate during the baking process. (Optional: Put a few pats of butter on the top of the cobbler before putting in the oven.) Shake a bit of cinnamon evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake for 30 minutes or until knife inserted in biscuit topping comes out clean and the top has browned. Serve warm.

GLUTEN-FREE PEAR COBBLER

Gluten-Free Pear Cobbler image

Rustic, gluten-free drop biscuits top fresh pears for an old-fashioned fall or winter treat suitable for celiacs. I use comice pears that are naturally very sweet and juicy even when firm to ensure natural sweetness that will maintain their shape after cooking.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 tablespoons cold butter, divided
1 ½ pounds Comice pears - peeled, cored, and cubed
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup white rice flour
¼ cup brown rice flour
¼ cup buckwheat flour
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
⅛ cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup cold milk, divided

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cube 1 tablespoon of butter and place in an 8-inch round baking dish.
Place pears in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice and toss to coat. Sprinkle cornstarch over pears and toss to coat. Set aside.
Whisk white rice flour, brown rice flour, buckwheat flour, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Cut in remaining butter until the mixture resembles coarse pebbles. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to pull together and form a ball.
Pour the pears into the prepared baking dish, covering the cubed butter. Drop walnut-sized balls of dough on top, pushing down to flatten and form a crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until top has browned and pears are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

Use ripe pears: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy pears. Avoid pears that are hard or have bruises.
Peel and core the pears: Before cooking, peel and core the pears. This will help to prevent the pears from becoming mushy.
Use a variety of spices: To add flavor to the cobbler, use a variety of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Don't overcook the cobbler: The cobbler is done when the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender. Overcooking will make the pears mushy.
Serve the cobbler warm: The cobbler is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

This gluten-free pear cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. With its flaky crust and sweet, juicy pears, this cobbler is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a gluten-free dessert, give this pear cobbler a try.
