Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 tbsp real butter (no substitutions)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Batter
- 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Melt Butter: Gently melt the butter and pour it into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a rich base for the pecans.
- Add Pecans: Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted butter layer, ensuring good coverage for flavor and texture.
- Mix Batter: In a separate bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the pecans and butter in the baking dish without stirring, allowing the layers to form a textured cobbler during baking.
- Bake Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cobbler’s top is a beautiful golden brown and bubbling hot.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor and make slicing easier.
Notes
- Use real butter to achieve the best flavor and texture; substitutes will alter the taste significantly.
- Do not stir the batter once poured over the pecans to maintain the distinct layers and crunchy topping.
- You can serve this cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert experience.
- Ensure to chop the pecans evenly to distribute texture throughout the cobbler.
- Self-rising flour provides leavening; if unavailable, use all-purpose flour with baking powder and a pinch of salt as a substitute.
