Spiced Pear Cobbler
Ingredients
8 servings
4 cups sliced fresh pears
1 ½ cups sugar
8 Tbsp unsalted butter
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup milk
1 large egg
Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°. Put butter in 2-qt baking dish; place in oven until melted, about 5 minutes. If your baking dish has short sides, place a baking sheet on another rack below to catch the drips.
Mix pears with ½ cup of sugar and let stand.
Combine 1 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in mixing bowl and mix well. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Slowly add milk/egg mixture to dry ingredients and combine to make batter.
Pour batter over melted butter in the baking dish; do not stir.
Spoon sliced pears over batter; do not stir.
Bake 50-60 minutes, or until nicely browned and pears are tender. Cover with foil as needed if topping is browning too quickly.
Remove from oven and cool. Serve hot or cold with ice cream or whipped cream.
