Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until thoroughly blended and free of lumps.
- Gradually pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring continuously to create a smooth, consistent batter. Add the vanilla extract and mix well to incorporate the flavor evenly.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom of the pan using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans uniformly over the top of the batter, ensuring an even distribution across the entire surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top turns a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. This resting period allows the cobbler to set and makes it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- • Use fresh, high-quality pecans for the most robust flavor • Ensure your butter is fully melted but not scorching hot • For an extra decadent touch, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the batter • Don't overmix the batter - gentle stirring prevents a tough texture • Check the cobbler at the 40-minute mark to prevent over-browning • Let the cobbler rest for the full 10-15 minutes to achieve the perfect consistency • For a gourmet presentation, serve with premium vanilla bean ice cream • Store leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container and reheat gently
