My neighbor has a couple pear trees and every year, for a few weeks in August, every time I pass his house (I walk by it like 5 times a day) he jumps out at me asking if want some pears. I always say yes, even if it is just one or two. How can I pass up free pears?
The last batch of pears I got from him were a little on the meh side, like at the point were you wouldn’t really enjoy eating them raw but are still good for baking which is fine by me and the reason I made a cobbler. Well that and the mr asked me to. (#1 girlfriend here!)
So here is it. A pretty basic pear cobbler which is to say a pretty fantastic pear cobbler. It is like a pear pie but with a biscuity top instead of a pie crust. And thats it, nothing fancy, just straight up pear goodness.
You know you want it so just make it.
Now to the cobbler.
The stuff. Pears, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, plant milk, oil, noise sugar, cinnamon and alittle more flour, apple cider vinegar, and little plant butter.
clean, core, and slice up pears.not to small and roughly the same size.
Butter a baking, dump in the pears and toss with sugar, cinnamon, and a little flour. Place in oven while preheating to start the pears cooking.
Now biscuits. Mix all the dry together then add in the oil and milk, Gently fold just until the wet and dry are incorporated . Place mixture in fridge while pears cook.
Once the oven is preheated and the pears have had a time to cook a bit, grab the cold biscuit dough from fridge and carefully grab the pears from the oven.
Drop biscuit dough on top of the hot pears, sprinkle with the raw sugar, and pop it the whole shebang back into the oven for another half hour or so.
Out of the oven looking all fine and shit.
And the you eat it.
