Ingredients

Scale

Pecan Filling

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (fresh or toasted)

Cobbler Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pecan Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy. Stir in chopped pecans evenly to coat them in the rich mixture.
  2. Make the Cobbler Batter: In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly pour in milk and stir until the batter is just combined with no lumps, ensuring a tender base.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, then evenly spoon the pecan filling over the top. The batter will rise around the pecan mixture as it bakes, creating a perfect layered effect.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cobbler crust is golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly to let the filling settle, then cut into generous servings. It’s delicious served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use fresh or toasted pecans for the best crunch and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until combined to keep the cobbler crust light and tender.
  • Melted butter should be warm but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
  • Check the cobbler a few minutes before the baking time ends to prevent overbaking.
  • Serve warm to enjoy the flavors at their peak.
