Description
This pecan cobbler recipe offers a warm, bubbling filling with a tender, biscuit-like topping, creating a comforting dessert that comes together with minimal fuss. It’s a family-friendly favorite, perfect for quick sweet cravings or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, divided
- 300 g pecan halves
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.33 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom, divided
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Prep Your Dish: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Melt 0.25 cup (55 g) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan until golden-brown and nutty. Immediately pour into a 23×33 cm (9×13 inch) baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Make the Filling: In the prepared dish, add 300 g pecan halves, 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, 0.33 cup (80 ml) maple syrup, 0.25 teaspoon (1 g) ground cardamom, 0.25 teaspoon (1.5 g) fine sea salt, 1 cup (240 ml) hot water, and 2 teaspoons (10 ml) alcohol-free vanilla extract. Stir gently until combined and shiny.
- Mix the Topping Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, 0.33 cup (75 g) granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder, the remaining 0.25 teaspoon (1 g) ground cardamom, and 0.25 teaspoon (1.5 g) fine sea salt. Cut the remaining 0.25 cup (60 g) cold unsalted butter into small cubes, add to the dry mix, and cut in until coarse crumbs form.
- Form Topping Batter and Assemble: Gradually add 0.75 cup (180 ml) whole milk, stirring just until a soft, shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix (lumps are fine). Drop spoonfuls of this dough evenly over the pecan mixture.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is visibly bubbly and thickened. A wooden skewer inserted into the topping should come out clean. Let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store pecans in the fridge or freezer to prevent rancidity. For a richer flavor, toast pecans lightly at 175°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes before adding to the filling. If the topping dough feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon or two of milk.
