Pear Cobbler

Be sure to use RIPE pears!

5 cups, peeled, cored and thinly sliced pears
1/8 tsp ginger
1 tbs self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter
3/4 cup water
Cobbler crust (separate recipe)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the sliced pears over the bottom of a 10 x 10 inch baking pan (or over a crust at the bottom of the dish). Mix the flour, sugar, and ginger together and sprinkle over the pears. Pour the water evenly over the pears. Dot with butter. Place the top crust over the pear mixture and bake on the lower rack of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes.

Serves 8 to 10.
