Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe pears
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 1 serving whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (around 8x8 inches or similar).
Peel and core the pears, then slice them into thin wedges. Place the sliced pears in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lime juice, lime zest, grated fresh ginger, and cornstarch to the pears. Mix well until all the slices are coated, then transfer the pear mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Then add the milk and vanilla extract to the melted butter and stir to combine.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until a soft batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the pear mixture, spreading it slightly. It does not need to cover the fruit completely; some gaps are fine.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra warmth and aroma.
Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
