Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted (divided)
- 2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Pour 1/2 cup melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add pecans: Evenly scatter chopped pecans over the melted butter.
- Mix batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Pour this batter evenly over the pecans—do not stir.
- Add brown sugar and butter: Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top, then drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup melted butter on top.
- Pour hot water: Gently pour the hot water over the entire mixture—again, do not stir.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. The cobbler will form a gooey, caramel-like layer underneath.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Pro Tip: For a richer flavor, toast your pecans lightly before baking—this enhances their nutty aroma and adds a deeper taste to your cobbler.
