Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed firmly)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves (toasted lightly)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream (for serving)
  • Optional: caramel sauce for drizzling
  • Optional: whipped cream for extra indulgence

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a rack in the middle position. Take eggs and milk out of the fridge to come to room temperature.
  2. Melt ½ cup unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until no lumps remain.
  4. Pour in the melted butter, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Batter will be thick like loose cookie dough.
  5. Scrape the batter into an ungreased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Set aside.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and ½ teaspoon salt until smooth and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  7. Gently stir in 1 ½ cups pecan halves until evenly coated.
  8. Pour the pecan mixture slowly and evenly over the raw topping batter. Do not stir.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and edges are bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean.
  10. Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Don’t skip toasting the pecans for deeper flavor. Room temperature ingredients matter for even mixing. Do not overmix the topping batter. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and oat milk. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
