Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined to create the base for your batter.
Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the whole milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients, then add the melted butter. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
Prepare Batter: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking dish, spreading it smoothly with a spatula. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the batter for a crunchy texture.
Make Brown Sugar Syrup: In a separate bowl, combine the packed brown sugar with the hot water. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved forming a sweet syrup.
Add Syrup to Batter: Carefully pour the brown sugar syrup over the batter and pecans in the baking dish. Do not stir; the syrup will sink through the batter during baking to create a luscious sauce.
Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the syrup is bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

Ensure the brown sugar is fully dissolved in the hot water to avoid gritty texture in the syrup.
Do not stir after pouring the syrup over the batter to allow distinct layers to form.
For a nuttier flavor, consider toasting the pecans lightly before adding them.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
This dessert pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream but can be enjoyed on its own.
