"The Ill-Fated Cobbler" (or "One Disastrous Dessert")

Maggie made a pear cobbler to celebrate the end of summer.  The pears were tree-ripened and delicious, the ingredients were measured and mixed with the wonder and care that can only be had by a person to whom baking is not yet a dreaded chore.  Maggie was so proud of her first, golden brown foray into baking.

Unfortunately, we used an all-purpose gluten-free flour that contained fava and garbanzo beans.  It provided an awful bitter flavor that not even our delightful summer pears could disguise.  However, the family raved about the dessert and, when little eyes were not watching, we quietly slid our platefuls into the garbage.
