What's A Cobbler?

From Scrambled: Black Raspberry Cobbler:

"Let's make a pie!" he said.

"Let's make a cobbler!" I countered.

"What's a cobbler?" he asked. The actual answer is that a cobbler is what I am capable of making since I cannot make pie crust (I KNOW. feel free to teach me) but I am pretty good with forgiving doughs that are intended to be rustic and ugly.

Cobbler is too complex for me. I'm a bigger fan of shortcake, where I whip up biscuits and put fruit on top of them and garnish it with mint leaves (did I tell you I'm growing mint? And I haven't killed it yet!) and call it a fancy dessert.

I just re-read that part where I said "whip up biscuits" and I think it's time to leave the south.
