Just had to let you know I made this today for Thanksgiving and it was incredible. My son in law said it was the best thing I ever cooked. That gets the seal of approval!!
I want to add peaches to this cobbler. What do you think?
Can this recipe be doubled?
DUMB D DUMB DUM!!!
CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT READ THE REST OF THE POSTS? SHE EXPLAINS IT ALL.
Wow, you are SO RUDE
Hi, this recipe looks awesome (especially for Thanksgiving)! I do have a couple questions. It says “packed light brown sugar”. Does that mean brown sugar packed light, or light brown sugar packed down? Also, I want to make a double batch, but I’m wondering if I can put it all in one 9×13 pan, or should I do two separate pans? I don’t want it to get messed up because I put it all into one and then the cook time might be different. Just wondering what you think. 🙂 Thank you!

I’m glad you want to try the recipe, to clarify “packed light brown sugar” – that is light brown sugar that is measured and packed tightly in the measuring cup.
It is fine to double the batch and cook in a 9×13 inch pan. It should have approximately the same cook time, but watch it and adjust. It may take about 5 or so minutes longer for the center to set. So what you’ll look for is the top to be golden brown and the center to be set (not jiggling and wet looking)
I would also place the 9×13 inch dish on a larger sheet tray in case of spills. I do this with everything and don’t always say it in the post.
I made your pecan cobbler this afternoon and I was happy with the way it turned out. I don’t generally like pecans but this was delicious. I used your self rising flour recipe and I wasn’t able to tell if that made a difference. However, I just discovered from reading the comments that I sprinkled the brown sugar on top of the pecans instead of on top of the batter. I’m sure that made a difference in how it turned out but since my family didn’t know, they loved it the way it was. I baked it longer than you suggested because the center of the top wasn’t browning and looked under cooked. I’m going to make it again but this time I’m going to put things in the right order.
OMG!!! I just found this and made it this week. It is unbelievably scrumptious. Thank you so much. Glad I found your site.
I made this last night and it looked terrible (very liquid) but set up nicely and everyone loved it. The recipe says to “pour” the flour/sugar/vanilla/milk mixture. Mine was way too solid for that. I had to drop by spoon fulls and while I tried to get it pretty evenly over the top, most of it ended up at the edges of the pan. No one seemed to care! But is the flour mixture supposed to “pour?”
It was thick but pourable. Thicker than pancake batter but not as thick as cookie dough. It may be the way the flour is measured, I usually sift it once or twice which then using a spoon dip flour into my measuring cup and level off the top. That’s the only thing I can think of that would make a big difference.
Oh my goodness! I can’t even find the words to tell you what looking at this awesome dish does to me! MAAAAA-velous dessert. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Weekend Potluck. It grabbed us all by the neck and is being featured at this week’s party. =D Enjoy a wonderful weekend.
Holy cow Paula; I made this last night and it was incredible! Thank you for all your amazing, yummy recipes!
I just stumbled across your website and saw this recipe for Pecan Cobbler. I am a pecan fool! I love pecans and use about 15 pounds a year for my baking. I usually buy them from a farm in Georgia or from a place in my town, that purchases “home grown” pecans. I live in Oklahoma where pecans are abundant as well. In fact, Oklahoma is the 4th largest producer of pecans in the US, behind, Georgia, Texas and New Mexico. Those in the store are horrid and don’t even taste like pecans. I have never heard of a pecan cobbler, but this sound right up my alley, another way to use those delicious pecans.
