we were discussing the difference between cobblers and crumbles on the weekend
I think a cobbler is more of a cake batter than a crust topping
my flatmate has been working on a new crumble recipe - the topping includes coconut, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds besides the usual flour, butter and sugar
been trying different fruit combinations.. last night's was apple, feijoa, currants, sultanas and yes, pears
AWESOME

More of a quick-torte type thing. Should also be very clumpy.
Cobblers should end up really smooth, soft and spongy.

cobblers aren't.
I looked at some recipes which are like a cake batter (egg & milk) and some which just use water to bind.. hmm

Oil for butter, no egg, and water for milk(soya can be used there).
Big thing to remember with no egg is to take half the flour and
all the liquid and beat it really hard, then add rest of the flour
and baking soda & sugar. Use dissolved brownsugar and bit of
sesame oil for the topping glaze instead of the honey.
