Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 tbsp real butter (no substitutions)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Batter
- 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter and pour it into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a rich base layer that will infuse the pecans with buttery flavor.
- Add Pecans: Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted butter, distributing them so every bite gets a crunchy nutty texture.
- Prepare Batter: In a separate bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter gently over the pecans and butter in the baking dish without stirring. This layering will create a wonderful texture contrast once baked.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and the cobbler becomes bubbly, signaling it is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes for easier serving and enhanced flavors, then enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use real butter for the best flavor and texture; substitutions may alter the result.
- Do not stir the batter after pouring—it helps create the signature cobbler texture.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
