Cobbler (food)
Cobbler is a dessert consisting of a fruit (or less commonly Umami, savory) filling poured into a large baking dish and covered with a Batter (cooking), batter, Biscuit (bread), biscuit, or dumpling (British cuisine, in the United Kingdom) before being baked. Cobbler is part of the cuisine of the United Kingdom and United States, and is similar to a crumble or a crisp (dessert), crisp. However, traditional cobbler differs from both of these by the presence of a leavening agent such as baking powder or baking soda. Cobblers made in this way can be viewed as a hybrid of pie and cake. Some cobbler recipes, especially in the Cuisine of the Southern United States, American South, resemble a thick-crusted, deep-dish pie with both a top and bottom crust that lack leavening and are less cake-like. Origin In the United States, English people, English settlers were unable to make traditional suet puddings due to lack of suitable ingredients and cooking equipment, so instead covered a stewe ...

Biscuit (bread)
In the United States and parts of Canada, a biscuit is a variety of quick bread with a firm, dry exterior and a soft, crumbly interior. It is made with baking powder as a leavening agent rather than yeast, and at times is called a baking powder biscuit to differentiate it from other types. Biscuit are often served with butter or other condiments, flavored with other ingredients, or combined with other types of food to make sandwiches or other dishes. Biscuits developed from hardtack, which was first made from only flour and water, to which lard and then baking powder were added later. The long development over time and place explains why the word ''biscuit'' can, depending upon the context and the speaker's English dialect, refer to very different baked goods. History Early hard biscuits were a simple, storable version of bread. The word "biscuit" itself originates from the medieval Latin word ', meaning "twice-cooked". The modern Italian baked goods known as biscotti (also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dump Cake
A dump cake is an American dessert similar to a cobbler (food), cobbler but with a cake-like topping. It is so named because it is prepared by "dumping" ingredients (typically canned fruit or pie filling, followed by a boxed cake mix) into a cake pan without mixing.

Peach Cobbler
The peach (''Prunus persica'') is a deciduous tree first domesticated and cultivated in China. It bears edible juicy fruits with various characteristics, most called peaches and the glossy-skinned, non-fuzzy varieties called nectarines. Peaches and nectarines are the same species, though they are regarded commercially as different fruits. The tree is regarded as handsome and is planted in gardens for its springtime blooms in addition to fruit production. The peach tree is relatively short lived, usually not exceeding twenty years of age. However, the peach fruit is regarded as a symbol of longevity in several East Asian cultures. The specific name ''persica'' refers to its widespread cultivation in Persia (modern-day Iran), from where it was transplanted to Europe and in the 16th century to the Americas. It belongs to the genus ''Prunus'', which also includes the cherry, apricot, almond, and plum, and which is part of the rose family. The peach is very popular; only the appl ...
