Although we think of a cobbler as being a savoury dish, this pear and blackberry cobbler is an American-style dessert, halfway between a crumble and a pie. Lovely tastes of autumnal fruits are covered by the sweet crunchy topping.

48.2g sugar
0.5g salt

Ingredients

  • 500g pears, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
  • 400g blackberries
  • 200g golden caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 175g self-raising flour
  • 75g chilled unsalted butter, cubed
  • 125ml buttermilk or wholemilk natural yogurt

Method: How to make pear and blackberry cobbler

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Pile the pears and blackberries into an ovenproof dish about 26cm x 18cm. Sprinkle over 50g sugar, the cinnamon and the cornflour. Gently stir together to mix.

Tip

Particularly gorgeous hot and served with cream.

2. Put the flour in a food processor, add the butter and 100g sugar, and whizz for a few seconds until crumbs form. Add the buttermilk and whizz briefly until a squidgy dough forms.

3. Scatter clumps of the dough over the fruit – don't cover completely. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar over and bake for 40 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping pale-golden.
