Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup (or maple syrup for an alternative)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a soft dough. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the gooey filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the pecan halves.
  4. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the pecan filling mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the pecan filling. Do not worry about covering the entire surface; the dough will spread slightly.
  6. Carefully pour the 1/2 cup of boiling water over the topping and around the edges of the dish. This helps create the sauce layer.
  7. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the pecan pie cobbler cool for at least 20 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend in the topping.
  • If you prefer to skip corn syrup, substitute it with an equal amount of maple syrup for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • This dessert feeds a crowd well, making it a great choice for holiday baking.
