Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
5 cups peeled, cored sliced pears
1 cup raisins
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, in pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a nine-inch round baking dish.
  • Mix brown sugar with cornstarch in a large bowl. Fold in pears and raisins, the melted butter and nutmeg. Spoon mixture into baking dish.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture has a mealy texture. Lightly stir in the milk to form a firm but tender dough.
  • Roll out dough on a floured board and cut it into strips one-inch wide. Criss-cross the strips over the fruit. Sprinkle the top with granulated sugar.
  • Bake about 40 minutes, until the crust has browned and the filling bubbles. Serve while still warm, with whipped cream.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but this cobbler sounds amazing. I might have to give it a try.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my cobbler. It didn't turn out anything like the picture. The pears were still hard and the topping was burnt.

This cobbler was a disappointment. The pears were mushy and the raisins were too tart. The topping was also too dry.

This cobbler was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.
