In a pan, add 6 cups of peeled and fresh sliced pears.

Add 1 cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup of corn starch to the pears.

Turn the heat to medium and stir the mixture well.

Add 1/2 cup of water to the mixture and stir again.

Cook on medium for about 7 to 10 minutes until the pears are tender and the sauce thickens and is clear.

Remove from heat once the pears are tender.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of self-rising flour and 1 cup of sugar, mixing well.

Add 1.5 cups of whole milk to the flour and sugar mixture and mix until incorporated.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a 9 by 13 baking dish, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter in the oven for a minute or two.

Once the butter is melted, carefully pour the batter over the butter, ensuring not to stir.

Spoon in 4 to 5 cups of the cooked pears, reserving about 1 cup for serving, and evenly distribute them without stirring.

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown on top.

10 minutes before the cobbler is done, sprinkle with cinnamon and raw sugar for added flavor and texture.

Remove the pear cobbler from the oven and let it cool before serving.
