Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1¼ cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1½ cups very hot water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring.
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the batter.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar over the pecans.
  • Slowly pour the hot water over the top. Do not stir.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
  • Rest for at least 20 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Do not stir the layers after pouring the batter over the butter. The sauce forms during baking, and allowing the cobbler to rest helps the filling thicken.
