Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
1 stick
Stir in the milk, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be a bit lumpy!
1 cup milk
Prepare the pears by peeling, coring, and slicing them into thin wedges.
4 large pears
In a baking dish or casserole dish, arrange the pear slices evenly, add flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pinch of salt on top. Toss together to combine and coat the fruit.
1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, Pinch of salt
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough on top of the pears, covering them as much as possible.
Place the cobbler in the preheated oven, and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the pears are tender.
Remove the cobbler from the oven, and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired!
