✔ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
✔ Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Make the Cobbler Base
✔ In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
✔ Stir in milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
✔ Pour in melted butter, stirring lightly (do not overmix).
✔ Spread the batter evenly in the baking dish.
✅ This forms the soft, buttery cobbler layer!
3️⃣ Add the Pecan Filling
✔ Evenly sprinkle chopped pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon over the batter.
✔ Carefully pour the boiling water over the top—DO NOT STIR.
✅ The water helps create a thick, caramel-like sauce as it bakes!
4️⃣ Bake to Gooey Perfection
✔ Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
✔ Halfway through baking, sprinkle pecan halves on top for extra crunch.
✅ Let it cool slightly so the caramel sauce thickens!
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
✔ Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
✔ Drizzle with extra caramel or maple syrup for indulgence.
✅ Warm, buttery, gooey, and crunchy all in one bite!
