Ingredients
Scale
Dessert Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Topping
- 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
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the whole milk and vanilla extract, then gradually add the melted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
- Assemble Batter and Pecans: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top to create a crunchy layer.
- Prepare Brown Sugar Mixture: In a separate bowl, dissolve the packed brown sugar in hot water by stirring until fully combined. Carefully pour this mixture evenly over the batter and pecans without stirring, allowing it to seep through during baking.
- Bake the Cobbler: Bake the assembled cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, indicating the filling is set and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes to set before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with 2% milk if preferred.
- Ensure the brown sugar is fully dissolved in the hot water to avoid gritty texture.
- For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the pecans before adding them.
- Serve immediately while warm for best texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
