Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 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 Finishing

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 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 prepare it for baking the cobbler.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter (or vegetable oil), and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently to form a thick batter.
  4. Prepare the Batter in Dish: Pour the batter into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides, spreading evenly.
  5. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter without stirring it in.
  6. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the very hot water over the topping layer without stirring. This technique helps create a sauce beneath the cobbler as it bakes.
  7. Bake the Cobbler: Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the center is set and bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. For extra indulgence, garnish with additional pecans and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use a baking sheet underneath the casserole to catch any bubbling over during baking.
  • Do not stir after pouring the hot water over the cobbler mixture to ensure proper sauce formation.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil for melted butter if desired.
  • Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream and extra pecans for enhanced flavor.
  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is unsweetened for best results.
