Tip:
Ensuring a Crisp Cobbler Topping. To achieve a perfectly crisp and golden cobbler topping. It’s crucial to start with cold butter. When preparing your dough. This helps create small pockets of steam as the cobbler bakes. Which leads to a lighter, flakier crust. Additionally, avoid overworking the dough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. So the dough remains tender rather than dense. Before placing your cobbler in the oven. Give the topping a light brush with milk. Or a sprinkle of coarse sugar. Which will add a delightful crunch. And shine to the finished crust. This simple technique. Ensures your cobbler topping is as visually appealing as it is delicious.
