Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk

For the Pecan Filling

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup (or pure maple syrup for variation)
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add milk or buttermilk and stir until a soft dough forms. Set aside.
  2. Make the Pecan Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually stir in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are well coated with the filling mixture.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the dish, spreading gently but leaving some gaps. Pour the pecan filling evenly over and between the dough pieces.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set. Watch carefully to prevent over-browning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to thicken slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use freshly chopped pecans for the best crunch and flavor.
  • Mix the dough just until combined to keep the crust tender and flaky.
  • Use room temperature eggs and milk to help the filling blend smoothly.
  • Monitor baking time closely after 35 minutes to prevent drying out the crust or firming the filling too much.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an enhanced experience.
