An easy pear cobbler recipe with butter and cake-like batter, along with fresh pears.

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups sliced fresh pears
  • 2 cups sugar, divided
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg

Preparation:

Mix pears with 1 cup sugar and let stand. Put butter in 2-quart casserole and place in 325° oven until melted. Combine all dry ingredients, including the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Mix well. Whisk together 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° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until nicely browned and pears are tender.
Serve hot or cold with ice cream or whipped cream.

Great Recipe - My whole family loved it!April 14, 2009By cdgthomas
"We had an abundance of pears and my father-in-law kept asking me to make a pie for him. Well, pies are not part of my cooking skills set, but I searched for pear desserts and found this one. It was easy to make and delicious. (After reading the reviews, I did decrease the sugar added to the pears slightly, especially because they were very sweet anyway.) I will be making this again and again. I don't even like pears very much, but I liked this cobbler a lot!"
