Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Canned peaches, apricots or fruit cocktail
Provides the sweet, juicy fruit filling that forms the base of the cobbler.
Tapioca
Thickens the fruit juices as it hydrates, so the filling becomes less runny.
Biscuit mix
Forms the dough topping, providing structure and a tender, risen crust over the fruit.
Milk
Adds moisture to the biscuit dough, helping it bind and bake tender.

The step that matters

Letting the tapioca sit with the fruit. Tapioca needs time to hydrate in the fruit juice before baking; if it is rushed, the filling can stay thin and watery under the biscuit topping.
