Gluten-Free Pear Cobbler

Cinco de Mayo - Dessert

Rustic, gluten-free drop biscuits top fresh pears for an old-fashioned fall or winter treat suitable for celiacs. I use comice pears that are naturally very sweet and juicy even when firm to ensure natural sweetness that will maintain their shape after cooking.
