Pecan Cobbler Recipe: A Southern Delicacy
Frequently Asked Questions
It sounds strange, I know. But, you just have to trust the process! The hot water – combined with the brown sugar + the rest of the crust ingredients – comes together to make the most perfect crust. This is a popular method across many variations of cobbler. Try it once and you won’t go back!
While y’all know that I love butter and do not shy away from it, I rarely stand 100% by a usage amount. That said, this recipe really needs the full amount of butter listed. As I said above, trust the process + the pecans will thank you!
Rivulet, which is an artisan pecan liqueur local to Louisville, is a wonderful addition to many cocktails and dishes. While the dish itself doesn’t have to have pecans in it for Rivulet to be a wonderful addition, it takes a pecan-forward dish to the next level. The liqueur + pecans combine to create the best flavor you’ve tasted south of the Mason-Dixon!

About Rivulet Pecan Liqueur
Rivulet® Artisan Pecan Liqueur is handcrafted in Louisville, KY. Rivulet starts with a 2-year-old, barrel-aged brandy. They then use a proprietary process to obtain the exquisite pecan essence, which I know y’all will love. It’s a deep flavor — one that is signature to the brand — and I can’t get enough of it. I also love that it’s local!
