Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the whole milk and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Then add the melted butter and mix until you get a smooth batter.
Assemble Batter and Pecans: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the batter.
Prepare Brown Sugar Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the packed brown sugar with the hot water, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
Add Topping Without Mixing: Carefully pour the brown sugar and hot water mixture evenly over the batter and pecans. Do not stir; this will create the cobbler’s signature syrupy layer.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Do not mix the brown sugar and hot water topping into the batter; it needs to sit on top during baking to form the syrup.
Use freshly chopped pecans for the best taste and texture.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the syrup to thicken.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
