Dinner
On those days when you can't decide between cobbler and pie, try this pecan cobbler recipe for the best of both worlds.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup brickle toffee bits
  • 1-1/2 cups boiling water
  • Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place butter in a 13x9-in. baking pan; heat pan until butter is melted, 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla until combined.
  2. Remove baking pan from oven; add batter. Sprinkle with pecans, brown sugar and toffee bits. Slowly pour boiling water over top (do not stir). Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes (cobbler will thicken upon cooling). Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.
