Ingredients

Scale

Base Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and butter base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, making sure it covers the entire bottom evenly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract just until the batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; it should be smooth with slight lumps.
  4. Combine batter and butter: Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring, allowing it to settle naturally.
  5. Add pecans and brown sugar: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly on top of the batter, then distribute the brown sugar uniformly over the pecans.
  6. Pour hot water: Slowly and carefully pour the hot water over the entire surface. Do not stir to let the magical layering process occur during baking.
  7. Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly with a set texture.
  8. Rest before serving: Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes to allow layers to settle and form a gooey bottom layer, enhancing the dessert’s signature texture.

Notes

  • Do not stir the batter once it’s poured; this helps create the layered texture.
  • Use hot water straight from the kettle to dissolve the brown sugar evenly.
  • For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before using.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly for easier serving and better layering.
  • This dessert pairs excellently with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
