Notes
- Cube your butter before beginning the recipe. Then, keep it in the fridge until ready to cut it into the flour. This keeps it as cold as possible.
- Be sure to bring your water to a full boil before adding it to the cobbler mixture. That's important for the right texture.
- Be sure your baking powder is fresh to achieve the best cobbler topping texture.
