Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (178°C).
  • Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch round baking dish.
  • Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the milk and vanilla and stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the pecans and brown sugar over the batter.
  • Pour the boiling water over the cobbler but DO NOT stir.
  • Bake until the cobbler is golden brown and puffed on the edges, 35 to 40 minutes. Let it cool for at least 45 minutes before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  1. Baking dish size--You can prepare this in an 11-by-7-inch oval baking dish instead of a 9-inch round one, but don't attempt to bake the pecan cobbler in a smaller dish as it will overflow during baking.
  2. Halving the recipe--You can halve the recipe and bake it in a 1.5-quart baking dish. The baking time will be slightly shorter. Start checking it at 30 minutes.
  3. Avoid drips and spills--Place the baking dish on a foil-lined baking sheet before cooking in case it overflows or drips when being transferred to the oven.
  4. Storage and reheating--Cover leftover cobbler and store it at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 250°F (120°C) oven until warmed through.
