What is the crust made from?

Generally, the crust for a cobbler is made with simple ingredients such as flour, sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and salt. Again, there are many different types of toppings.

Could I use Lemon Curd versus Lemon Pie Filling?

You can substitute Lemon Curd in place of Lemon Pie filling. The Lemon curd tends to be richer in lemon flavor than the pie filling is.

Can I thicken a Cobbler filling?

Certainly! You can use CornStarch or flour with water to thicken the sauce if it is needed. Generally, pie fillings or Curds are thick enough for a cobbler dessert.

Do I need to store this in the refrigerator?

I believe this Lemon Cobbler is best when stored in the refrigerator. You do need to cover it tightly or place it in an airtight container. Lemon Cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days.

Can I freeze this Lemon Cobbler?

I do not suggest freezing this dessert. There will be an obvious texture difference in the lemon when it thaws.
