Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  4. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans over the top of the batter. Carefully pour the boiling water evenly over the entire cobbler (do not stir).
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Variation

  1. Add chocolate chips for a gooey chocolate twist.
  2. Use walnuts instead of pecans for a different nutty flavor.
  3. Incorporate a splash of bourbon for an adult version.

Cooking Notes

  1. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  2. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
  3. The cobbler may still jiggle slightly when taken out of the oven; it will set as it cools.

Serving Suggestions

  1. Pair with coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat.
  2. Top with whipped cream for a lighter alternative to ice cream.
  3. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth.

Tips

  • Make sure the water is boiling before pouring over the batter.
  • Use fresh pecans for the best flavor.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.
