Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) pecans, chopped
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, light and packed
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) water, hot
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar, granulated
- 1 cup (125 g) flour, all-purpose
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) milk, whole
- ½ cup (115 g) butter, unsalted and melted
- 1 ½ tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Set the oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Batter Creation: Blend flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Introduce milk and vanilla extract, whisking until a seamless, velvety batter forms.
- Butter and Batter Layer: Spread melted butter across the baking dish, then gently pour the prepared batter overtop without disturbing the butter base.
- Pecan Distribution: Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly across the batter, ensuring a consistent nutty landscape.
- Syrup Crafting: Combine brown sugar with hot water, stirring until a glossy, caramel-like syrup develops.
- Syrup Infusion: Cascade the brown sugar syrup over the pecan-covered batter, allowing it to seep and create a rich, caramelized underlayer.
- Baking and Transformation: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the surface turns a golden-bronze and edges bubble with caramelized intensity.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes, then plate warm. Optional: Crown with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for ultimate indulgence.
Notes
- Manage Butter Distribution: Pour melted butter evenly to ensure a consistent, crispy base layer without clumping or dry spots.
- Control Pecan Placement: Sprinkle pecans gently and uniformly to guarantee balanced nutty texture in every serving.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: Check the cobbler at 35 minutes to prevent over-browning; golden edges indicate perfect doneness.
- Optimize Serving Temperature: Allow 10-15 minutes cooling time for layers to set and flavors to meld, creating a more cohesive dessert experience.
