Dieters beware! This recipe contains real sugar and an entire stick of butter. My friend, Diana (see Super Fast Potatoes), dropped off about a dozen pears from her family's fruit trees. What to do? My first thought was to eat them as is, but a dozen? I'm just not that healthy.
Easy Pear Cobbler
2-2 ½ cups pears, chopped
2 cups sugar, divided
1 stick butter
¾ cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk
1 egg
Mix pears with 1 cup sugar in a pretty bowl and set aside.
Put butter in 2-quart casserole and place in 325° oven until melted.
Combine all dry ingredients, (don't forget the remaining 1 cup of sugar), and mix well.
Whisk the milk and egg; slowly combine with dry ingredients to make a batter.
Pour over melted butter; DO NOT STIR.
Spoon pears over the batter; DO NOT STIR.
Bake at 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until nicely browned and pears are tender.
Serve hot or cold.
Options: Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Make it a meal: Serve after a light lunch of Antipasto (see recipe)
Wine: Riesling
