Description

Delight in the warmth of a Southern classic with this Pecan Cobbler recipe, where a golden, buttery crust envelops a luscious pecan filling, creating a comforting and irresistible dessert that captures the essence of indulgence in every bite.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows the oven to reach the right temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Take a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the melted butter into it, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly. Do not brush the butter up the sides; a thin, even layer at the bottom works best.
  3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the self-rising flour and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Ensure these are well combined to avoid lumps in your batter.
  4. Add Milk and Vanilla: Gradually pour the milk while continuously stirring to blend it with the dry ingredients. This prevents lumps from forming. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. The batter will be somewhat runny, which is normal.
  5. Layer the Batter and Butter: Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in your baking dish. It's important not to stir them together; the butter will naturally encase the batter as it cooks.
  6. Add the Pecans: Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans over the batter. Again, resist the urge to stir. The pecans will partially sink into the batter during baking, creating layers of texture and flavor.
  7. Prepare the Brown Sugar Mixture: Mix the brown sugar with hot water in a separate bowl until the sugar is mostly dissolved. This creates a rich syrup.
  8. Top with Brown Sugar Mixture: Gently pour this brown sugar mixture over the pecans and batter. Pouring it gently and evenly will help it spread across the entire dish without disturbing the layers.
  9. Bake the Cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Ovens vary, so you might need to cook it for longer - mine took just over an hour to cook. You're looking for a golden brown top and crispy edges. The center should be set but still slightly wobbly.
  10. Cool Before Serving: After removing the cobbler from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. This allows it to set a bit, making it easier to serve.

Notes

  • Checking for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cobbler. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, it’s done.
  • Oven Variations: Oven temperatures can vary, so check your cobbler around the 35-minute mark.
  • Serving Suggestion: For an extra treat, serve the cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
  • Reheating Leftovers: If you have leftovers, cover them and store them in the refrigerator—reheat individual servings in the microwave for a quick, warm dessert.
