Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1½ cups chopped pecans
- Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon or 1 tablespoon bourbon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. Pour this batter evenly over the butter—do not stir.
- In another bowl, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and optional cinnamon or bourbon until smooth.
- Carefully pour the sugar mixture over the batter—again, do not stir.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For extra texture, use a mix of chopped and whole pecans.
- Dark corn syrup gives a deeper, richer flavor.
- Add a splash of bourbon for a Southern twist.
- Serve warm for the best gooey texture.
