Scale
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp real butter (no substitutions)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 and 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cobbler.
- Melt Butter: Melt the 6 tablespoons of real butter and pour it evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a buttery base for the cobbler.
- Add Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the melted butter layer; this will provide a crunchy texture once baked.
- Mix Batter: In a separate bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and free of lumps, forming your cobbler batter.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the pecans and butter in the baking dish, making sure not to stir. The layering will produce a delightful texture as the cobbler bakes.
- Bake Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, indicating the cobbler is perfectly cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors set.
Notes
- Use real butter for the best flavor and texture — margarine or substitutes won’t give the same result.
- Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, so no additional leavening agents are needed.
- Do not stir the batter once poured over the pecans; the natural layering effect is key to the cobbler’s distinctive texture.
- This dessert is best served warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
