Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (178°C).

Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch round baking dish.

Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the milk and vanilla and stir until just combined.

Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the pecans and brown sugar over the batter.

Pour the boiling water over the cobbler but DO NOT stir.

Bake until the cobbler is golden brown and puffed on the edges, 35 to 40 minutes. Let it cool for at least 45 minutes before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools.

Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream.
