Serves 8-10:
- For the cobbler:
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- For the pecan topping:
- 1 1/2 cups (150 g) chopped pecans
- 1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
- Make the cobbler batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, then pour the batter over the butter. Do not stir.
- Prepare the pecan topping:
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the batter.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and hot water, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Carefully pour this mixture evenly over the pecans and batter. Do not stir.
- Bake the cobbler:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. The cobbler will appear slightly gooey in the center, which is perfect.
- Cool and serve:
- Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For an extra crunch, use whole pecans or a mix of whole and chopped pecans.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
