Instructions
-
Prepare the Oven & Dish
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. -
Make the Cobbler Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking dish. -
Add the Pecans & Sugar Layer
Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over the batter. In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon (if using), and syrup. Sprinkle this mixture over the pecans. -
Pour Boiling Water
Carefully pour boiling water over the top—do not stir! This creates the gooey, caramel-like filling as it bakes. -
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and set but the bottom remains gooey. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. -
Serve & Enjoy!
Spoon warm cobbler into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Don’t Stir the Water – Pour it gently over the top for the best gooey texture.
- Make Ahead – Prep in advance and reheat for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
- Extra Crunch? – Add whole pecans on top for more texture.
