Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Toppings and Sweeteners

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

Optional for Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. This forms the base of your cobbler batter.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the whole milk and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Then, add the melted butter and mix until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Assemble Batter and Pecans: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top to distribute the nutty topping.
  5. Prepare Brown Sugar Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the packed brown sugar with hot water, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. This creates a sweet liquid that will soak into the batter during baking.
  6. Add Brown Sugar Topping: Carefully pour the brown sugar and hot water mixture evenly over the batter and pecans without stirring. This allows the topping to create a syrupy, gooey layer as it bakes.
  7. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Bake until the cobbler is golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges, indicating it is cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly after baking to set the layers. Serve warm with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure not to stir after pouring the brown sugar mixture on top to retain the layered cobbler effect.
  • For a crunchier topping, toast pecans lightly before adding them on top.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • Substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Serving with vanilla ice cream enhances the contrast between warm and cold, creamy and crunchy textures.
