Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3 eggs
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, melted butter, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth.
- Pour batter into baking dish: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Prepare the pecan topping: In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, corn syrup, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the pecan halves.
- Add the pecan mixture: Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. The batter may mix slightly with the pecan mixture; this is okay.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. The dish should be golden brown, and the center should be set.
- Serve: Once done baking, allow the pecan dessert to cool for a bit. Serve it warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Enjoy your delicious pecan dessert!
