Ingredients

Filling:
2 pounds firm Bartlett pears, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 2/3 cups fresh cranberries (6 ounces)
1 cup sugar
2 (1- by 3-inch) strips orange zest, finely chopped
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
Biscuit topping:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
Accompaniment:
Citrus-Infused Custard Sauce
Special Equipment
2- to 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish (1 1/2 - to 2-inches deep); 2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

Make filling:
Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third. Butter baking dish.
Stir together pears, cranberries, sugar, orange zest, brandy and allspice in a large bowl. Transfer filling to baking dish and dot with butter.
Cover dish tightly with foil and bake 20 minutes.
Remove foil and continue to bake until cranberries burst and pears are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
While filling is cooking, make biscuits:
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, then add 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons cream and stir just until a dough forms. Gather dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface (dough will feel dense and heavy; don't worry.)
Gently knead dough 6 times, then pat out into an 8-inch round (about 1/3-inch thick).
Cut out as many rounds as possible with lightly floured cutter, transferring to a sheet of wax paper. Gather scraps and pat out once more, then cut out more rounds. (You will have about 16).
Carefully but quickly, top hot fruit with biscuits, arranging in 1 layer. Brush biscuits with remaining tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sugar.
Continue to bake cobbler until biscuits are puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before serving and top with Citrus-Infused Custard Sauce.

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

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F
Combine brown sugar, 3 eggs, cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl; mix well.
Gently stir in pears.
Spoon into greased 8-inch square 2 quart baking dish.
Set aside.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl.
Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk, 1 egg and walnuts.
Drop dough evenly over pear mixture into 9 mounds.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until filling is set and biscuits are golden brown.
Serve warm.

Tips:

Choose ripe pears: Use ripe, firm pears for the best flavor and texture. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised.
Peel and slice the pears evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
Use a good-quality custard mix: A high-quality custard mix will give you a rich and creamy filling.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cobbler tough.
Bake the cobbler until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the cobbler is cooked through.
Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream: This will make the cobbler even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Pear custard cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
