# Ingredients List:

→ Cobbler Base

01 - 140 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 150 grams granulated sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
08 - 120 grams pumpkin puree
09 - 60 millilitres milk
10 - 60 millilitres melted butter or vegetable oil
11 - 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Topping

12 - 100 grams granulated sugar
13 - 100 grams brown sugar
14 - 30 grams chopped pecans
15 - 360 millilitres very hot water

# How to Make It:

01 - Set oven to 175°C (350°F) and allow to fully preheat.
02 - In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
03 - In a separate small bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter or vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until a thick, homogenous batter forms.
05 - Transfer batter to a small 20-cm (8-inch) casserole dish with high sides, spreading evenly.
06 - In a bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Distribute evenly over the batter’s surface.
07 - Pour very hot water gently over the entire surface. Do not stir; the topping must remain undisturbed.
08 - Place the dish on a baking tray to catch any overflow. Bake for 40 minutes or until the center is set.
09 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional pecans or vanilla ice cream.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Pouring hot water over the topping without stirring creates a self-saucing effect, yielding a luscious sauce beneath the cobbler.
02 - For optimal presentation, serve in the baking dish to preserve the layered textures.
