This easy and delicious cobbler combines a classic pecan pie filling with a simple biscuit topping for a warm and comforting dessert.
Ingredients:
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- For the Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Make the Filling:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir in pecans.
- Pour filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Make the Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually stir in milk until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough over the pecan filling, covering as much as possible.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of sweetened cream.
Tips:
- For a richer filling, use a combination of light and dark corn syrup.
- Toasted pecans add a deeper flavor to the filling.
- You can use store-bought biscuit dough as a shortcut for the topping.
- This cobbler can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
Enjoy!
