Pro Tips & Notes
- Don't Overmix the Biscuits: Mix the biscuit dough just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing develops gluten and will result in tough biscuits.
- Fresh vs. Frozen Veggies: If you prefer using fresh vegetables, sauté them for 5 minutes before adding to the filling to ensure they are tender.
- Resting is Key: Allow the cobbler to sit for at least 5 minutes after baking. This helps the filling set up so it is easier to serve.
