- Granulated sugar
- Butter
- Baking powder
- Milk
Do not skip this step…
I don’t know the science behind it but the boiling water is super important. It creates that gooey filling at the bottom. But, do not mix it with the top batter and pour it around the sides. While baking the cake portion will separate itself and form that top layer like you see in the photos.
Making the pecan pie cobbler recipe
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Pour the butter into the baking pan. Then, top with the half the pecans and 1 cup of the brown sugar.
- In a bowl, add in the flour, salt, granulated sugar, baking powder and then whisk in the milk and butter. Pour the batter on top of the contents in the pan.
- On top of the batter, place the remaining pecans and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Lastly, pour the boiling water along the sides.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool a bit before serving because the bottom layer will be extremely hot. Serve by itself or with a scoop of ice cream or cool whip, enjoy.
