Ingredients

Scale

Cobbler Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pecan Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended, forming your cobbler batter.
  3. Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking dish, spreading it out to create an even layer.
  4. Add Pecans and Brown Sugar: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the batter. Then, spread the packed light brown sugar over the pecans to create the sweet topping layer.
  5. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the back of a spoon onto the brown sugar and pecan layer. This helps the water to distribute evenly and dissolve the sugars to form a syrupy bottom as it bakes.
  6. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is set and golden brown, and the filling is bubbly and thickened.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It is delicious when served warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use hot water carefully to avoid splashing and to ensure even sugar dissolution.
  • For a richer flavor, consider toasting the pecans lightly before using.
  • This cobbler can be served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds before serving.
