Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Lightly grease an 8Γ8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
Make the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish.
Prepare the Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
- Scatter the chopped pecans over the sugar mixture.
Add the Sauce:
- Gently pour the hot water over the entire dish. Do not stirβthis creates the gooey sauce during baking.
Bake the Cobbler:
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown. The sauce will bubble up around the edges.
