Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Topping and Other

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups very hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature by the time your batter is ready.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter (or vegetable oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Create the Batter: Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to create a thick batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
  5. Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the batter into an 8-inch casserole dish with high sides to contain the bubbling liquid during baking.
  6. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans evenly.
  7. Add Topping and Water: Spread the pecan and sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the casserole dish. Carefully pour the very hot water over the entire dish without stirring to maintain distinct layers.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the center is set and bubbly.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Top with extra pecans and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the best experience.

Notes

  • Using very hot water is key to forming the cobbler’s signature sauce while baking.
  • Do not stir after adding the water; the layers will separate and create the perfect cobbler texture.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
  • Serve warm for best taste, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Placing the dish on a baking sheet will help catch any bubbling over during baking.
