Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup + 3 tbsp all-purpose flour: This forms the base of your cobbler and provides the necessary structure.
  • 2 tsp baking powder: Acts as a leavening agent helping the cobbler to rise as it bakes.
  • 1/2 tsp salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the cobbler.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar: Provides sweetness to the batter.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon: Adds a warm comforting flavor that defines autumn baking.
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg: Offers a slightly sweet and nutty flavor that complements the pumpkin.
  • 1/2 tsp cloves: Infuses the dish with a warm and spicy note.
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree: The star ingredient delivering creaminess and a rich, earthy flavor.
  • 1/4 cup milk: Adds moisture and contributes to the overall richness of the cobbler.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil: Aids in achieving a moist texture.
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla: Elevates the flavor profile with its sweet aroma.
For the topping, you’ll need:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar: Sweetens the topping and contrasts with the spiced batter.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar: Offers a deeper caramel-like sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans: Adds delightful crunch and a nutty flavor.
  • 1 1/2 cups very hot water: Creates steam making the cobbler more moist while baking.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup + 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp cloves until well combined. This mixture will provide the base for your cobbler.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter or oil, and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The batter will be thick; pour it into an 8-inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the casserole dish.
  6. Add hot water: Carefully pour 1 1/2 cups very hot water over the topping without stirring it in. This will create a delicious layer as it bakes.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the cobbler is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. For an extra special treat, serve it warm with additional chopped pecans and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
