Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit for this cobbler! Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the cobbler from becoming too soggy. Frozen berries or peaches work particularly well.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of this cobbler, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend you use includes xanthan gum, or add a teaspoon of it to mimic the texture of regular flour. This will allow you to enjoy the cobbler without gluten.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and pour it into the pan a few hours ahead of baking. Just cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, simply add the fruit on top and sprinkle with sugar before placing it in the oven.
