Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups Fisher pecans, chopped
- 1 ½ cups corn syrup
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ cups 1.1 gluten-free flour or all-purpose flour
- 8 tablespoons cold butter
- ¾ cup buttermilk
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Thoroughly coat a 7×10 inch (18×25 centimeters) baking dish with butter, making sure the dish is at least 2.5 inches (6.35 centimeters) deep to contain the entire dessert.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend all pecan pie filling ingredients until uniformly combined. Transfer the mixture evenly into the prepared buttered baking dish.
- Create the cobbler topping by whisking the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Utilize a pastry cutter to incorporate cold butter into the dry mixture, breaking it down until the texture resembles small pea-sized crumbs.
- Carefully introduce buttermilk into the crumbly mixture, stirring gently until just integrated. Take care not to overmix, which could make the topping tough.
- Using a spoon or small scoop, distribute equal-sized dollops of the cobbler dough across the surface of the pecan filling, ensuring relatively even coverage.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and a set filling.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes. This brief cooling period helps the filling stabilize and makes serving easier, creating clean, appealing slices.
Notes
- Butter the baking dish generously to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Cold butter is crucial for creating flaky, tender cobbler topping with perfect pea-sized crumbs.
- Avoid overmixing the cobbler dough to maintain a light, delicate texture that melts in your mouth.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and stabilize.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
- Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently to preserve its original texture.
