How to Make Pear Custard Cobbler

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 3 large eggs, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in 2 cups canned pears (packed in light syrup), reserving syrup for later use.
  4. Grease an 8x8 inch (2-quart) baking dish. Pour the custard mixture into the prepared dish.
  5. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the pear mixture, creating 9 mounds.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is the perfect complement!
