This deep-dish cobbler has a custard filling and is made with canned pears. I use the pears in light syrup. You can also substitute Splenda for the sugar.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (29 ounce) cans pears, drained, cubed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F
2. Combine brown sugar, 3 eggs, cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl; mix well.
3. Gently stir in pears.
4. Spoon into greased 8-inch square 2 quart baking dish.
5. Set aside.
6. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl.
7. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Stir in milk, 1 egg and walnuts.
9. Drop dough evenly over pear mixture into 9 mounds.
10. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until filling is set and biscuits are golden brown.
11. Serve warm.
