Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

Filling:
2 pounds firm Bartlett pears, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 2/3 cups fresh cranberries (6 ounces)
1 cup sugar
2 (1- by 3-inch) strips orange zest, finely chopped
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
Biscuit topping:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
Accompaniment:
Citrus-Infused Custard Sauce
Special Equipment
2- to 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish (1 1/2 - to 2-inches deep); 2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

Make filling:
Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third. Butter baking dish.
Stir together pears, cranberries, sugar, orange zest, brandy and allspice in a large bowl. Transfer filling to baking dish and dot with butter.
Cover dish tightly with foil and bake 20 minutes.
Remove foil and continue to bake until cranberries burst and pears are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
While filling is cooking, make biscuits:
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, then add 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons cream and stir just until a dough forms. Gather dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface (dough will feel dense and heavy; don't worry.)
Gently knead dough 6 times, then pat out into an 8-inch round (about 1/3-inch thick).
Cut out as many rounds as possible with lightly floured cutter, transferring to a sheet of wax paper. Gather scraps and pat out once more, then cut out more rounds. (You will have about 16).
Carefully but quickly, top hot fruit with biscuits, arranging in 1 layer. Brush biscuits with remaining tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sugar.
Continue to bake cobbler until biscuits are puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before serving and top with Citrus-Infused Custard Sauce.

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe pears. They should be slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a 9-inch cast iron skillet instead.
To make the custard filling ahead of time, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle the cobbler with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon before baking.
Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
