Chef D,
When I make a blueberry pie, I always use a bit of flour or corn starch to thicken it a bit. I notice that the blueberry base is just berries, sugar and lemon zest. Should I be concerned that the berry part of the cobbler will be too runny? Thanks, Jeff
Chef Dennis Littley says
a pie needs to be thick enough to slice, the cobbler can be a little looser. I haven’t had any issues with it being too runny, but you can thicken it if you want to.
