What To Avoid While Making This Recipe?
- Incorrect Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, it will not spread properly over the pecans, affecting the cobbler’s texture. Make sure it’s pourable, adding extra milk if necessary.
- Uneven Layering: Pouring the batter unevenly or stirring after pouring it over the pecans will result in an uneven texture. Avoid mixing the batter once it’s in the pan.
- Using Warm or Cold Butter: The butter should be hot but not overly melted or cooled down before you start the recipe. It needs to melt enough to create a crispy crust but should not burn or be too cooled.
