Step 3: Make the Cobbler Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until a soft, thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; you want the topping to be light and tender.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the pecan filling. Don’t worry about covering the filling completely; the topping will spread as it bakes.
- Lightly spread the batter in a few places if necessary, leaving some gaps where the pecan filling can peek through.
Step 5: Bake the Cobbler
- Place the cobbler in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- The filling should be bubbly, and the pecans slightly caramelized on top.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This lets the filling set slightly for perfect slices.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for Success
- Pecans: Lightly toast the pecans beforehand to enhance their flavor.
- Sweetness: Adjust the brown sugar if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
- Topping texture: For a crispier top, sprinkle a little sugar over the batter before baking.
- Make ahead: The cobbler can be assembled a few hours before baking and stored in the fridge until ready.
