- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- 1¼ cups packed light brown sugar

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.

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.
