Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 mL/4 fl oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup (125 g/4.4 oz) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (50 g/1.8 oz) chopped pecans
- ¾ cup (150 g/5.3 oz) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g/3.5 oz) brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ cups (360 mL/12 fl oz) hot water
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ¼ cup (60 mL/2 fl oz) milk
- 2 tbsps melted butter
- 1 ½ tsps vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp cloves
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 350°F and lovingly anoint a 9-inch baking dish with a whisper of butter or culinary spray, creating a non-stick sanctuary for the impending dessert.
- Dry Foundation: Orchestrate a symphony of dry components—flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—whisking them into a harmonious blend that promises depth and complexity.
- Liquid Integration: Marry the dry landscape with pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, folding them together with a delicate touch until a silky, uniform batter emerges, free of potential lumps or inconsistencies.
- Pecan Topping Construction: Craft a decadent crown by sprinkling a lavish layer of chopped pecans, brown sugar, and a cascade of boiling water across the surface, which will magically transform during baking into a luscious, caramel-like base.
- Baking Alchemy: Nestle the cobbler into the preheated oven’s warm embrace, allowing it to metamorphose for 40-45 minutes until the top achieves a golden-brown radiance and the interior bubbles with autumnal promise.
Notes
- Prevent Batter Clumping: Sift dry ingredients before mixing to eliminate lumps and ensure a smooth, consistent texture throughout the cobbler.
- Control Moisture Balance: Use pure pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling to maintain proper moisture levels and prevent excess liquid in the final dessert.
- Enhance Pecan Crunch: Toast pecans briefly before adding to the topping for intensified nutty flavor and improved crispy texture.
- Customize Spice Profile: Adjust spice blend according to personal preference by experimenting with additional warm spices like cardamom or increasing cinnamon for deeper autumn warmth.
