Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped pecans
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional:
- Additional pecan halves for garnish
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make Topping: In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk and melted butter until a smooth batter forms.
- Layer Topping: Pour the batter evenly over the pecan filling. Spread gently with a spatula if needed to cover most of the filling.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the topping comes out clean.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the filling set.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
