Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, melted (for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) pecan halves or chopped pecans
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving
  • Optional: caramel sauce or flaky sea salt for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place an 8×8 baking dish in the oven while it preheats.
  2. Melt 1 stick of butter for the batter and another stick for the topping in a small saucepan over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain.
  4. Pour in the milk, melted butter (for batter), and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine). The batter should be thin, like pancake batter.
  5. In a separate small bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar, melted butter (for topping), and vanilla extract until it forms a thick, chunky paste.
  6. Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter directly into the dish (it should sizzle). Do not stir.
  7. Spoon the pecan mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir it in.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not raw batter.
  9. Cool on a rack for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Optionally drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Notes

Preheat the baking dish for a crispy bottom. Do not stir the pecan topping into the batter before baking. Toast pecans first for deeper flavor. Start checking at 30 minutes; if browning too quickly, tent with foil. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving. For a crowd, double the recipe and use a 9×13 dish, baking 45-50 minutes.
