Pecan Pie Cobbler
Ingredients
For the Cobbler Base:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- 2 cups water
For the Batter:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
For the Topping:
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- Vanilla ice cream optional for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cobbler Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9x13-inch baking dish, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed, then sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the mixture. Pour the water gently over the pecan layer.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, milk, and melted butter. Stir until smooth. Pour the batter evenly over the pecan base, trying not to disturb the pecans too much.
Step 3: Add the Topping and Bake
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans over the batter. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
Step 4: Serve
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- Self-Rising Flour Substitute: If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Pecan Substitutes: If you prefer, you can substitute half of the pecans with walnuts for a different flavor.
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir the batter just until combined to keep it light and tender.
