Ingredients
Scale
Butter & Nuts
- 6 tbsp real butter (no substitutions)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Batter
- 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the cobbler.
- Melt Butter: Melt 6 tablespoons of real butter completely and pour it evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a rich base.
- Add Pecans: Evenly sprinkle the 1 cup of chopped pecans over the melted butter, ensuring good coverage.
- Prepare Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour, 1 and 1/2 cups sugar, and 1 and 1/2 cups milk. Stir the mixture well until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the pecans and butter in the baking dish. Avoid stirring to allow the batter and pecans to create a layered texture while baking.
- Bake: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the batter is bubbly and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use real butter to achieve the ideal flavor and texture; substitutes may alter the outcome.
- Do not stir after pouring the batter over pecans to create the characteristic cobbler texture.
- Ensure the oven is properly preheated to achieve even baking.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly to let the flavors set and to avoid burning while serving.
